As you say in your review of a pile of books about the fall of Communism, “missing in all this is a powerful voice from the countries concerned” (“Wall Stories,” November 7, 2009). Writers such as Solzhenitsyn are needed to put the fall and its aftermath into words. Or so you argue. But the demise of great dreams seldom produces great literature. Communism was the greatest dream since the Industrial Revolution, too. The missing voice will come forth when the alternative proves sorely wanting, and sorely wanting it will prove soon enough. Capitalism was a great dream too long ago to cause much of a stir today, but it offers little or no solace to those who want more from life than goods and services galore. Not surprisingly, Solzhenitsyn himself was not impressed by the alternative, but words failed him when it came to denouncing it as a writer. His heirs will be much less obliging. The missing voice will be harsh past compare.
