The tattooist of Auschwitz (III)

Heather Morris, the writer, pauses a few paragraphs to tell us about Gita's illness and how Black Mary, the cart of death, immediately appears in Lale's head; while she introduces us to Cilka, to whom her beauty goes beyond the surface, a virtue that is a rarity in most mortals.

The tattooist of Auschwitz (II)

Nor do I like books that boast on their cover with the strategy of being or having been a bestseller, emphasising as if it were a military medal achieved in the media and commercial struggle of sales. And with this I´m not saying, my friend, that all the books that have sold the most are crap.
