Nick Mann est un écrivain dont l'œuvre explore les complexités de la connexion humaine et l'impact durable des expériences passées. À travers ses récits, il examine comment les individus naviguent entre la mémoire, le traumatisme et la recherche de sens, révélant souvent les couches cachées sous la surface de la vie quotidienne. Sa prose se caractérise par un rythme réfléchi et une observation fine, invitant les lecteurs à contempler les fils complexes qui nous lient et les manières dont nous guérissons et grandissons de nos blessures les plus profondes.
"Everything physical is made up of the elements and the infinite variety of molecules they form when they combine with each other. In [this book], Gray takes the next step in the grand story that began with the periodic table in his best-selling book The Elements ... Here, he explores ... the most interesting, essential, useful, and beautiful of the millions of chemical structures that make up every material in the world"--
