Negative Positive
Title: Not worth the hour
Review: As the inside flap boldly states, A Man Survives is definitely a novel which breaks away from traditional Russian writing. Unfortunately, it does so with little success. The story of a boy who grows up trying to escape the life that he lives is choppy, rambling, and not at all captivating. I always finish books I start, but it took genuine effort to concentrate on this one for long enough. Spend your time on something better.
