Primo Levi: Rewriting the Holocaust

As one of the best-known survivors of the concentration camps, Primo Levi's testimony to his experiences in Auschwitz is internationally recognised as one of the most significant works of the last century. This new book is an original and fascinating insight into the works of a remarkable writer, granting readers a new understanding and perspective on the immense significance and the pervasive influence of the Holocaust on Levi's creative output. Lucie Benchouiha assesses and analyses the influence of Levi's time in Auschwitz on his writing, identifying a variety of thematic, temporal, stylistic and linguistic echoes in Levi's concentration camp testimony and carrying out a detailed examination of the traces and echoes of the Holocaust throughout his subsequent and, apparently unrelated, works.
