A review by nikita_barsukov
Колымские рассказы by Варлам Шаламов

5.0

One of the bleakest, saddest, most depressing texts. Almost unbearably so.
A cornerstone of prison literature, postulates nothing positive can come out of it, a man can only become worse there. Even more, he underlined that a prisoner doesn’t have any agency, only a chance can get a prisoner through.
