Gorky kept notebooks the way other men keep coins in a pocket, and this book is what he poured out of them: a ferryman, a half-wit, a man boasting about his pedigree while the country comes apart around him. It is not memoir in any orderly sense.
In spite of the monotony of his preaching, what infinite variety is to be found in this almost legendary man!
