Reviews

[Alex · Rating 4 out of 5]

Arthur Miller (author of Death of a Salesman) is much more radical than I expected or knew. this is a great snapshot of 1970s-era Soviet Union, mostly centered on the relative freedom/non-freedom of Soviet journalists, artists, and others who want to express themselves, as compared to those in the United States. Miller comes across as a quasi-anarchist, which I appreciated.
