I am currently reading Primo Levi's book If this Is A man. It is a non-fiction relating to his own terrible experiences as a jew in auschwitz. The extent to which he is able to approach so analytically and talk so elequently of his own experiences make this book truly brilliant and thought provoking (for want of a stronger term). An emotionally wrenching, saddening but enthralling read.

A great polemic against racism and fascism, to cover just one of its aspects.


Venceremos to you all,
