In this article we suggest a reading of Everything flows, the celebrated short novel of Gulag Literature by Vasily Grossman, based on a project carried out in 2021-22 with students in their final year of high school. The analysis was conducted through a workshop that brought the students closer to the work on variants performed by the author. Our aim was to make students appreciate the linguistic and stylistic work of refinement accomplished by Grossman, and at the same time to make them reflect on the gradual transformation of the author, who was a reliable interpreter of Socialist realism when he wrote the first draft of the novel, and in the last variant became a dissident irreconcilable with the Soviet system.

Abstract
In this article we suggest a reading of Everything flows, the celebrated short novel of Gulag Literature by Vasily Grossman, based on a project carried out in 2021-22 with students in their final year of high school. The analysis was conducted through a workshop that brought the students closer to the work on variants performed by the author. Our aim was to make students appreciate the linguistic and stylistic work of refinement accomplished by Grossman, and at the same time to make them reflect on the gradual transformation of the author, who was a reliable interpreter of Socialist realism when he wrote the first draft of the novel, and in the last variant became a dissident irreconcilable with the Soviet system.
