Solzhynitsyn’s Cancer Ward
The Twentieth Century Russian Novel by David Gillespie
This is Google Book transcript, so there are a few pages missing. Chapter 7 deals with Cancer Ward. If you haven’t read it (and don’t want to) but want to read about it, this is pretty good.
He also does Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita.
