Arduous tasks : Primo Levi, translation, and the transmission of Holocaust testimony

Describes the challenges inherent in literary transmission of Holocaust testimony, especially in cases where translation is involved. Insana explores these issues through readings of the translations of works by Jewish-Italian Holocaust survivor Levi Primo in relation to, rather than apart from, his other writings (notably, his 1947 memoir If This Be a Man, Survival in Auschwitz in English).
