A masterful and definitive biography of one of the most misunderstood and controversial writers in Russian literatureMikhail Sholokhov is arguable one of the most contentious recipients of the Nobel Prize in Literature As a young man Sholokhovs epic novel Quiet Don became an unprecedented overnight successStalins Scribe is the first biography of a man who was once one of the Soviet Unions most prominent political figuresnbsp Thanks to the opening of Russias archives Brian Boeck discovers that Sholokhovs official Soviet biography is actually a tangled web of legends halftruths and contradictions Boeck examines the complex connection between an author and a dictator revealing how a Stalinist courtier became an ideological acrobat and consummate politician in order to stay in favor and remain relevant after the dictators deathStalins Scribe is remarkable biography that both reinforces and clashes with our understanding of the Soviet system It reveals a Sholokhov who is bold uncompromising and sympatheticand reconciles him with the vindictive and meanspirited man described in so many accounts of late Soviet historyShockingly at the height of the terror which claimed over a million lives Sholokhov became a member of the most minuscule subset of the Soviet Unions populationthe handful of individuals whom Stalin personally intervened to save 8 pages of BampW photographs
