Nobel-prize-winning author and dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn has died at the age of 89.

Which political writers and writings have influenced you? Mine would be a long list, but the US Constitution, Thoreau, Jefferson and Adams and especially Benjamin Franklin, essays by Zinn and Greenwald and Conason and Ellison, and the graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegelman would all be up there.

ETA: Thanks for the mention by [livejournal.com profile] lola_mccrary below. How could I have possibly forgotten Garry Trudeau? Walt Kelly and Al Capp did some small bit, but, holy FSM, Doonesbury is arguably the most influential comic strip of all time.
