Everything: If This is a Man – a year in Auschwitz, The Truce – from Auschwitz to Turin; stories and essays, both collected and previously uncollected; The Periodic Table, The Wrench; the complete Other People’s Trades, fifty-one pieces of singular journalism; collected poems; ‘Primo Levi in America’ by Robert Weil, ‘The Publication of Primo Levi’s Works in the World’ by Monica Quirico; bibliography; just short of 3,000pp; introduction by Toni Morrison, ‘His disdain for necrology is legend. Dwelling on memories – his and others’ – of survival rather than on the monstrous detritus of suffering, he is compelled by how suffering is borne whatever its consequence. Time and time again we are moved by his narratives of how men refuse erasure.’ Various translators, the three volumes edited by Ann Goldstein.
