Jonathan, you accomplished this task in your article. Writing is a painfully boring task to observe, while wonderfully obsessive to engage in.

I agree about Dickens, his style is what matters most, his humour, the atmosphere he creates, his ability for observation and detail, registered in a poetic manner. One can read him again and again.As for Primo Levi, I have read the second part of his memoir in Italian, La Tregua, it was very good.
