This book offers an in-depth analysis of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's reception in the U.S., U.K., and Germany before and after 1991. Elisa Kriza explores his corpus through the paradigm of witness literature and confronts contentious subjects, such as antifeminism, anti-Semitism, and revisionism. Redefining Solzhenitsyn's work as memory culture, Kriza reveals the dynamics that transform a controversial figure into a moral icon.

This book shows a solid and comprehensive grasp of Solzhenitsyn's work and the huge body of criticism it has fostered. The comparative and interdisciplinary approach is organically embedded in the chapters' detailed readings and documents Kriza's capacity to master a differentiated use of vast material.
Elisa Kriza, PhD, Aarhus University, Denmark, has taught courses on dissident and émigré literature and on cultural encounters and conflicts.
