Solzhenitsyn

I see a great Russian writer has died. Maybe I should now finally make myself read Ivan Denisovich.

(Why did the ABC website post this under "Entertainment" I wonder?)

On a very shallow note, whenever I hear the phrase "Russian writer" I always think of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine made a fool of herself, by insisting the original title of War and Peace had in fact been "War, what is it good for?"

(I'm mildly embarrassed!)
