Title: Not Really Holocaust Lit (I Mean It Is But...)
Review: It's a shame that the title of the memoir, If This Be a Man, was changed to Survival in Auschwitz in order to cater to an American audience.Friend: "Could you recommend a good memoir?"Me: "Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi."Friend: "Survival of Auschwitz?! Oh, man. I don't know about that."After reading this book three times, once for a graduate class and twice before on my own, I still don't view it as Holocaust literature--and I mean that in a good way: read the memoir and you will see what I mean.Oh, and don't forget to pay a few bucks more to get If This Be a Man. A lot of reviewers disliked this version, Survival of Auschwitz, because of the typos it contains.
Is the review positive or negative?
