Abstract | Since Primo Levi died in 1987, and Paul Steinberg in 1999, one is left in the curious situation today of reading what is in effect a dialogue between two dead men who knew each other at Auschwitz and seem to have reacted rather differently to the intense and testing experience of the death camp. Egan brings Primo's "If This Is A Man" and Steinberg's "Speak You Also" into conversation with each other.
