This piece of news regarding Primo Levi's memoir "The Perodic Table" (which was gifted to me by my "bookie" friend C a year ago - thank you C if you are reading this!) makes me very happy. Levi is one of the writers whose prose can shift the gears of one's mind, and makes one want to be able to write with "humanity" - this ignoring the death camp terror that one perhaps has to endure first to arrive to the state from which such writing can begin.
