Primo Levi's hold on scholarly, critical and public attention grows
with the passing of time. He commands a position of prominence in
discourses ranging across the disciplines of Holocaust studies,
Jewish studies, Italian literature, politics, history and
philosophy. Certain of his concepts (the "grey zone") or certain
concepts popularized through his works (the Musulmann phenomenon)
play a significant role in contemporary intellectual discourse. In
addition, Levi's reflections on the act and the possibility of
witness, and of recounting trauma, are increasingly cited by a
range of thinkers. This book presents a baker's dozen of
interpretative keys to Levi's output and thought. It deepens our
understanding of common themes in Levi studies (memory and witness)
while exploring unusual and revealing byways (Levi and Calvino, or
Levi and theater, for example). Of special interest and utility are
the chapters that situate his thought within wider contexts: his
epistemological connection to ancient Greeks, and his contributions
to Holocaust phenomenology.
