Dear Mr. Frölich,
only a quick word to thank you for your friendly review of my Überraschungen.
Hope to see you soon here in Turin: in this occasion you will perhaps explain me who is Chirico?[1]
Most cordial wishes to both of you

1In Fröhlich’s review of the German edition of Storie naturali (Natural Histories), the author describes Turin as the city of the “Fiat-Olivetti-Chirico” triad; hence, Levi’s curiosity regarding “Chirico.” However, the answer to this letter has not been found. Cf. Hans Jürgen Fröhlich, Naturales Historiae für morgen. Primo Levis „Verdoppelung einer schöne Damen,“Stuttgarter Zeitung, April 12, 1965, available here.
