Abstract

"Live and Testify: Literary Witnesses to the Soviet Camp Experience" is the second volume of my three-volume project, "Literature of the Gulag." Volumes 1 and 2, "See No Evil: Literary Cover-Ups and Discoveries of the Soviet Camp Experience" (Yale, 1999) and "Live and Testify: Literary Witnesses to the Soviet Camp Experience," constitute a comprehensive monograph of the multinational tradition of survivors' testimonies to Soviet prisons and camps. This 2-volume monograph will be complemented by Volume 3 of my project, "Anthology of Gulag Literature."
