I had never even heard of Shalamov until I read excerpts from Kolyma Tales, then I bought the book about six months ago. He has also lead me to be interested in other Russians, such as Grossman and Victor Serge. here in Ireland, Shalamov's writing is virtually unheard of, so I am sharing his greatness with anyone I feel would be interested. I have only today discovered your blog, so I shall be hunting out other great Russians to read! Hi Josefina – thank you for writing exactly what I feel about this genius.

And, far more important, thank you for writing about prison camp literature. Your post is a great reminder that I should read more Shalamov stories: I bought a huge collected works book last year and read from it every now and then but need to do better! I can only echo your praise... the stories are short, evocative, and beautifully written. Thank you so much, Josefina, for mentioning my blog!
