One day

I wrote a paper on "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" way back

when Solzhenitsyn started his exile in Zurich and no one knew about him.

I had a literature prize at school. Proud to be among the few who had read

him then. I still have the paper and will publish it one day. It is about

the history of the labor camps which had traumatised Dostoevsky all his life.

Each time Dostoevsky was under stress from lack of money or illness

(he suffered from epilepsy), he hallucinated about his life in chains

at the camps of forced labor. The torment he suffered haunted

him most during his life-trials.
