Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a prominent writer of the Cold War era, is the subject of Elisa Kriza's insightful book, which delves into his reception in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany before and after 1991. Through the lens of witness literature, Kriza explores the complexities behind Solzhenitsyn's politicized reception, examining the factors that contributed to his decline in popularity and the rumors linking him to Russian nationalism. This study goes beyond anti-communism and delves into contentious subjects such as anti-feminism, anti-Semitism, and revisionism in Solzhenitsyn's work and reception. By reclaiming Solzhenitsyn from his critical exile and re-evaluating his work as memory culture, Kriza offers a crucial scholarly intervention that sheds light on the mechanisms that can transform a controversial figure into a moral icon.
