Witnessness
Many who read this review will have some familiarity with Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett's 1952 ontological exploration of pause and purpose. Fewer will have grappled with the extreme minimalism of his later works, such as Film (1964), Lessness (1970), Ill Seen Ill Said (1981), and, most pertinent to the work at hand, Worstward Ho (1983).

La terza via
La terza via: Dante and Primo Levi Risa Sodi (bio) It is well known that the original title of Primo Levi’s Auschwitz memoir was to be the Dantean I sommersi e i salvati, taken from the “ventesimo canto / de la prima canzon, ch’è d’i sommersi” (Inf. 20.1–2), until Levi’s friend and fellow partisan, editor Franco Antonicelli, convinced him to use a line from his 1946 poem Shemà, “se questo è un uomo”: Voi che vivete sicure Nelle vostre tiepide cas…

The Memory of Justice
Primo Levi is a unique sort of Holocaust symbol. Having survived what he called ‘the adventure of Auschwitz,’ in 1947 he published Se questo è un uomo (translated in England as If This is A Man and is the United States as Survival in Auschwitz), his classic study of man in the face of the Holocaust. Levi's scrupulously factual narrative is often so bizarre as to seem unreal. But fiction it is not. Levi does not spare us any of his momories, yet h…
