Vasily Grossman

A celebrated Russian journalist and author during WWII, after Vasily Grossman completed his masterpiece “Life and Fate” which sharply criticized the Soviet system, the KGB confiscated his manuscript. The book was eventually smuggled out of Russia and published, but not until long after Grossman’s death in 1964. The prequel to that book, “Stalingrad,” has just been republished with a new English translation.  In the July issue of Harper’s Magazine, Aaron Lake Smith reviews three of Grossman’s books currently in print in English and a new biography called “Vasily Grossman and the Soviet Century” by Alexandra Popoff. Aaron Lake Smith on Vasily Grossman, in this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI.
