Acocella writes about Primo Levi, Holocaust survivor and chemist, who wrote the classic memoir, Survival in Auschwitz; M.F.K. Fisher who, numb with grief over her husbands suicide, dictated the witty and classic How to Cook a Wolf; and many other subjects, including Dorothy Parker, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Saul Bellow. Twenty-Eight Artists and Two Saints is indispensable reading on the making of art-and the courage, perseverance, and, sometimes, dumb luck that it requires.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736054890784,"sku":"NEW0307275760","price":16.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61lIguNz1eL.jpg?v=1779504187","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/twenty-eight-artists-and-two-saints-essays-0307275760","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
