I asked ChatGPT to write a Calvino story in the style of Cosmicomics, and it basically wrote the "Carbon" chapter from Primo Levi's The Periodic Table. https://t.co/KZqD9Y0nCC
Bay Area Family man trying to exercise body, mind, spirit in self, culture and nature. Striving to make so much room for the given that it appears as gift.
@MatRyanELATeach Matt, looking forward to our next #canonchat, loved the 2nd half of The Periodic Table. I ran across this article about Primo's death and found the article helpful to read. https://t.co/MIA0ZvcA5u

The Periodic Table (1975) by Primo Levi đź’«đź’«đź’«đź’« Book about chemistry, language, trade, Jewishness, Fascism in Italy, and life at large and in its most minuscule detail. Hard to get into, even harder to put down once started, and a joy to finish. Will read more Levi after this. https://t.co/qFo7gfBMmP
