Geoff and Anna discuss THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD by Fyodor Dostoevsky translated by David McDuff. This is a fictionalised account of the four years Dostoevsky spent in a Siberian prison camp after he was arrested for taking part in a political conspiracy. Sold as a novel but with the feel of a documentary, it contains fascinating details and joins a collection of Russian prison memoirs. Other books discussed: PATRIOT by Alexei Navalny translated by Arch Tait and Stephen Dalziel THE LONG WALK TO FREEDOM by Nelson Mandela NO FRIEND BUT THE MOUNTAINS by Behrouz Boochani translated by Omid Tofighian A DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN DENISOVICH by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Coming up: THE SEASON by Helen Garner Follow us!
