Is work of art (Archipelago Gulag) is a reliable source?[edit]

--Dojarca (talk) 15:34, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A note at the beginning of the English translation of The Gulag Archipelago says: "In this book there are no fictitious persons, nor fictitious events. People and places are named with their own names."
The book has a lot of artistic metaphor and other poetic language, but it is a nonfiction book. --DavidCary (talk) 13:36, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
