Acocella writes about Primo Levi, Holocaust survivor and chemist, who wrote the classic memoir, \u003ci\u003eSurvival in Auschwitz\u003c\/i\u003e; M.F.K. Fisher who, numb with grief over her husband’s suicide, dictated the witty and classic \u003ci\u003eHow to Cook a Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e; and many other subjects, including Dorothy Parker, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Saul Bellow. \u003ci\u003eTwenty-Eight Artists and Two Saints\u003c\/i\u003e is indispensable reading on the making of art—and the courage, perseverance, and, sometimes, dumb luck that it requires.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42957676511487,"sku":"9780307275769","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780307275769_s600x595.jpg?v=1775589203","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780307275769","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
