"The Zone: Notes of a Warden" is an autobiographical novel by Sergei Dovlatov, consisting of fourteen episodes about the lives of prisoners and guards.
The protagonist is Boris Alikhanov, Dovlatov's literary double, a conscript soldier serving as a guard at a forced labor camp in a village in the Far North. He tells true, tragicomic stories of camp life, describes daily life and meager leisure activities, compares guards and prisoners, hinting at the lack of obvious differences...
"Solzhenitsyn describes political camps. I describe criminal camps. Solzhenitsyn was a prisoner. I was a guard. According to Solzhenitsyn, the camp is hell. I think hell is ourselves."
