This presentation is hopelessly dated. A cursory reading will show a reader that as late as 1988 I was convinced of the invincibility of the Soviet Union and the socialist bloc. My opinions on literature with reference to the revolution have by and large remained unchanged.
Unfortunately, Pages 11-14 are missing. I had in those pages discussed my idea of the range of literature as a spectrum of functions, ranging from, say, mere experimentation in the medium to the didactic and even escapism. I am sure the reader will not miss much. Perhaps at a later time I will be able to reconstruct my argument to make a coherent discourse.
