Over the course of more than 25 years, Primo Levi gave more than 200 newspaper, journal, radio and television interviews, speaking with such varied authors as Philip Roth and Germaine Greer. Marco Belpoliti and Robert Gorden have selected and translated 36 of the most important of these interviews for this book. We recognize the voice familiar to us from Levi's masterpieces, from The Periodic Table to The Drowned and the Saved. But we also see a fuller, more varied, and more complex picture of the writer famously shrouded in his past. There is Levi the Holocaust witness; Levi the writer; Levi the chemist; Levi the intellectual; Levi the political polemicist and Levi the atheist and Jew, holding onto his Jewish culture while rejecting the symbols of a faith he could not share. Levi emerges in a rich, contradictory, and essentially human light - he was a classic figure out of place. As he put it, I am an amphibian, a centaur, I live with this paranoiac split. Levi's status as perhaps the most well known of the survivor-writers of the Holocaust is enhanced still further by his many voices speaking in this remarkable book.
