Q:Yes. Mister Levi. If you have not tried 'Moments of Reprieve', do consider it. Mister Chu thinks you will find it to be worth your time.

Moments of reprieveWhy, Mr. Chu, thank you for the recommendation. Señor Being concurs with your assessment of Primo Levi’s marvelous memoir.

Señor Being would like to share with you a story from Roberto Pastrovicchio, the photographer who shot this somewhat enigmatic-looking image for Mister Levi’s 2002 Penguin cover: “I like objects, shapes and shadows, so I put an apple in a pot and used a bit of flash here and there.”
