List,
I just for the first time read Elie Wiezel's Night. It was lying around the
public library as a "new book" since it was re-translated in 2006. It had
orignally been published in 1958. Having heard talk about it for the last 30
years, my reading of it was prefaced. Yet I still got quite a shove off of
equilibrium. My questions for you are:
1. What did Walker Percy know about Night?
2. What kind of college courses might Night fit into well?
