The tone of the book is set by the author and is not entirely objective. He tells of life under a socialist regime and what it is like for the writer and other people. It is clear he did not favor the suppression of creativity and the kind of writing and art that resulted from adherence to the Method. Portraying everything in terms of the class struggle and Marxian doctrine does away with the beauty of art and literature, which is the author's point of view.
