Northeast Gaorni Township:

I was born there, I grew up there;

Even though there was plenty of misery,

These mournful ballads are for you.

Novelists are forever trying to distance themselves

from politics, but the novel itself closes in on politics.

Novelists are so concerned with “man’s fate” that they

tend to lose sight of their own fate. Therein lies their

tragedy.

– Joseph Stalin
