Title: Great Book butchered by terrible hack during translation
Product review: By simple count John Glad chose to through out about 15% of actual words from the Shalamov book (Compare "On Tick" for example if you know Russian and English). Without those words that "translator" obviously considered unnecessary book of great literature became mediocre exercise in horrors of Gulag. What a hatchet job! What a shame! If anyone can point me to a decent translation, I'll appreciate it.
