About The Book
Would Stalin and his merciless state security apparatus get wind of this brazenly insulting poem? Would the poet’s body and spirit be crushed under the weight of the state if they did?
Narrated in turn by Mandelstam himself, his devoted wife, his great friends Boris Pasternak and Anna Akhmatova, and vivid fictional characters, The Stalin Epigram is a page-turning tale of courage and the human spirit and illuminates the agonizing choices Russian intellectuals faced during the Stalinist terror. In it, legendary author Robert Littell delivers his most riveting suspense story and masterfully written novel to date.

Raves and Reviews
“Robert Littell has written what may be his finest novel…a timeless story of courage and truth…a brilliant work, always readable, sometimes funny and often heartbreaking…The Stalin Epigram should not be missed.” —Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post
“This novel stands head and shoulders above most others of its kind, a book that begins as a thriller and ends as a testimony to the courage and naked vision of its odd and eccentric real life hero.” —Alan Cheuse, NPR’s “All Things Considered”
