Celebration of Primo Levi

An evening of readings to celebrate the great Italian writer upon publication of his Collected Works, which is edited by Ann Goldstein and features many new translations of his work.

Goldstein is joined by John Turturro, who played Primo Levi in the film The Truce; David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker; and Robert Weil, who oversaw publication of the three-volume edition for Liveright.

“With the moral stamina and intellectual pose of a twentieth-century titan, this slightly built, dutiful, unassuming chemist set out systematically to remember the German hell on earth, steadfastly to think it through, and then to render it comprehensible in lucid, unpretentious prose,” wrote Philip Roth.
