Beschreibung

Over the course of more than twenty-five years, Primo Levi gave more than two hundred newspaper, journal, radio and television interviews speaking with such varied authors as Philip Roth and Germaine Greer. Marco Belpoliti and Robert Gordon have selected and translated thirty-six of the most important of these interviews for The Voice of Memory.

Rezensionen

Italo Calvino
"One of the most important and gifted writers of our time"
Michael Ignatieff
"The qualities of mind and heart that made Primo Levi the essential chronicler of Auschwitz are on display in this invaluable collection. The voice is impossible to forget: ironical, subtle and humane. He talks as he writes, with the quiet precision of a chemist and the moral imagination of someone who has learned everything that suffering can teach."
Sally Cousins, The Sunday Telegraph
"Primo Levi, who spent two years in Auschwitz, is perhaps the most influential of the writers who survived the Holocaust. His status will be enhanced still further by this collection of 36 interviews...One recognises the voice familiar from his masterpieces, but a picture emerges of Levi also as political polemicist and Jewish atheist. Essential reading for readers of Levi as well as for students of contemporary literature."
Anthony Rudolf, The Jewish Chronicle
"An essential addition to the canon ... these interviews enhance our previously limited knowledge, outside Italy, of the man's public face ... The Voice of Memory, an exceptionally well-edited and well-translated book, has two valuable introductions by the editors and very helpful notes ... I believe that the whole world has benefited from the presence of this man whose labours over 40 years fortified the planet's fragile immune system with antibodies of understanding and truth."
that took place there .... and with Levi's despair at being unable to explain what he experienced. (The interviews are expertly translated from the Italian by Gordon). Still, much in these pages is deeply satisfying, and some interviews are strikingly illuminating.' New York Times Book Review
'Reading through the 36 interviews with Primo Levi (1919-87) that Marco Belpoliti and Robert Gordon have collected in The Voice of Memory can be an uncomfortable and bitter experience. There are pages upon pages with grim descriptions of Nazi concentration camps and the "demolition of man"
Publishers Weekly
'With this collection of interviews drawn from the course of more than a quarter of a century, Levi can now be recognized not only as a writer of the Holocaust but as a seminal thinker of the 20th century.'
' Jerusalem Post
'This selection from over 250 recorded interviews makes for fascinating reading and confirms, as Robert Gordon says in his useful preface, that "Levi speaks as if writing and writes as if speaking."
