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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joan Acocella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307275760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307275769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.18w x 1.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/02\/2008 pg. 28","brand":"Joan Acocella","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076009947391,"sku":"9780307275769","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_327dfb70-28d4-4172-a33e-fc0e74c2df80.jpg?v=1685462670","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twenty-eight-artists-and-two-saints-joan-acocella-9780307275769","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
