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.

Primo Levi (1919-1987) was born and lived his entire life in Turin, with the exception of the years 1944-45, when he was captured as an anti-Facist partisan, deported to Auschwitz, and then released into war-torn Europe. He was the author of such acclaimed books as If This is a Man, The Periodic Table and The Drowned and the Saved.

Marco Belpoliti is editing the complete works of Primo Levi. Robert Gordon is a University Lecturer in Italian and fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.
