He also notes the case of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "He was an internationally renowned author while in Russia, because the Soviet Union of which he wrote was a subject of concern and interest to everyone in the world. But ever since he left Russia, he has had no new works make the same impact."
他再以俄國作家索忍尼辛為例，「在俄國時他是國際知名作家，因為他寫的蘇俄，是世人關懷、有興趣的題材；但他一離開俄國，就再也沒有新作品問世了。」
