The Double Bond: The Life of Primo Levi Angier, Carole

Review "The entwined complexities and contradictions of man and writer are caught in Angier's vastly detailed and intricately layered biography ... Her approach to Levi suggests something of Holroyd's way with George Benard Shaw: a determination to understand, nudge, infiltrate and all but become her subject." --Richard Eder, The New York Times Book Review Product Description A portrait of the author of Survival in Auschwitz, The Reawakening, and The Periodic Table discusses his achievements as a holocaust survivor and writer, the respect he won as a man believed to be at peace with his painful experiences, and the international devastation at his apparent suicide.
