Cancer Ward: A Novel by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Cancer Ward is a 1967 novel by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn that explores the lives of patients and staff in a Soviet provincial hospital’s cancer ward in 1955, after Stalin’s death. The novel serves as a political allegory, using the patients’ terminal illnesses to symbolize the “growths” within the cancerous Soviet system, such as labor camps and exile. Drawing from Solzhenitsyn’s own experiences as a former prisoner in a labor camp who later battled cancer, the book offers a deeply compassionate portrayal of human suffering and societal decay.
