Too much whining

By e_j_busteron December 17, 2006

Format: Paperback|Verified Purchase

This is a boring book about a guy who goes to prison in the Soviet Union. Throughout the book, the author whines incessantly about getting a bum rap. He believes that he was wrongfully imprisoned (That's a new one).

According to the author, he was imprisoned for criticizing the Soviet government in a letter that he wrote to a friend. But his story is not believable to me. I'm sure there is something that he isn't telling us.

He also complains a lot about the unpleasant conditions in prison.

Newsflash: Prison isn't supposed to be fun. People who are in prison should do their time and not complain about it.

There are three huge volumes in The Gulag Archipelago saga. I only read the first (unabridged) volume. Maybe the abridged version is better. I don't know. The abridged version probably cut out a lot of the author's whining, which would definitely be a plus.

I dont disagree with this. Its the reason i never read it and generally avoid a lot of traditional russian literature. Too many characters do nothing but wallow in their sorrows. This fatalistic attitude is why the russian government could do what they did to their people. Its a cultural trap and i hope we dont fall for it.

We are americans. Taking action to fix our problems is what makes us different. Its supposed to be what makes us better.

This is just a “poor people are poor because they’re lazy” argument, which, even if you’re a racist, doesn’t explain plummeting black outcomes between 1960 and 1990. You’re missing something and it’s probably because you’re making the fundamental attribution error
