The article discusses the "Voices of October: Art and Literature in Soviet Russia," by Joseph Freeman, Joshua Kunitz and Louis Lozowick. The most interesting section of the book is that dealing with writers. Immediately after the Revolution the government encouraged the people of every class to express their opinions on all topics of public interest. So there emerged the wall newspaper and contributors' columns filled with the naive reactions of people who had never before been allowed to express themselves. The Revolution has developed an admirable school of novelists and poets. Work of these writers reveals three main tendencies, heroic, pessimistic and nostalgic.
