A Yawning Memory Hole For Alexander

clipped from pajamasmedia.com Alexander Solzhenitsyn died on August 3, but if reigning English professors and textbook editors have their way, his writing will soon be disappeared. The murder of 100 million by communist regimes during the twentieth century is a fact ignored or rationalized by leftists everywhere, of course. In political science and history, a few like Harvey Klehr and John Earl Haynes fight such prevailing revisionism with fact. But in literary studies, the propagandizing comes under the clever cover of theories that purportedly embrace multiplicity and openness. Professor Yaeger intones, “As category confusion accelerates, we gravitate toward interstices and traces rather than clean causalities, binaries, or arrays.” Yawn.
