The Stalin Epigram by Robert Littell
Set in Stalinist Russia, this novel follows a poet whose sharp, private epigram about the dictator sets off a chain of state surveillance, arrests and betrayals; as friends, officials and informers react, the narrative traces the terrifying machinery of the secret police, the moral compromises people make to survive, and the enduring power and peril of artistic dissent under a totalitarian regime.
