Situated at the intersection of animal studies and literary theory,
this book explores the remarkable and subtly pervasive web of
animal imagery, metaphors, and concepts in the work of the
Jewish-Italian writer, chemist, and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi
(1919-1987). Relatively unexamined by scholars, the complex and
extensive animal imagery Levi employed in his literary works offers
new insights into the aesthetical and ethical function of
testimony, as well as an original perspective on contemporary
debates surrounding human-animal relationships and posthumanism.
The three main sections that compose the book mirror Levi's
approach to non-human animals and animality: from an unquestionable
bio-ethical origin ("Suffering"); through an investigation of the
relationships between writing, technology, and animality
("Techne"); to a creative intellectual project in which literary
animals both counterbalance the inevitable suffering of all
creatures, and suggest a transformative image of interspecific
community ("Creation").
