Book Discussion | A Discussion of Primo Levi's The Drowned and the Saved


The Nazi genocide of European Jews has frequently been described as the paradigm of modern evil. More than any other event, it seems to oppose a group of guilty perpetrators to a mass of innocent victims. The Jews, after all, were not singled out for anything they might have done, but simply for who they were. As a secular Jewish survivor of Auschwitz, Primo Levi was well situated to observe this dynamic. Yet, in his final work, The Drowned and the Saved, Levi painted a radically different picture of the Holocaust. In this talk, the literary scholar Michael Rothberg will discuss the implications of Levi’s concept of the gray zone for two additional realms: those of historical responsibility and cultural memory.

Concert | Max Hatt and Edda Glass, Prize-Winning Musicians


Until recently, Max Hatt / Edda Glass had been hiding out in Montana playing Bossa Nova. They emerged suddenly in 2014 to play their original music at Lincoln Center, where they won the grand prize at the NewSong Competition and generally defied categorization. This year sees them perform at Sundance Film Festival’s ASCAP Music Cafe, NPR’s Mountain Stage, and in concert at Lincoln Center. NewSong Recordings will release their new album this fall, produced by Pat Sansone of Wilco and The Autumn Defense and recorded at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, North Carolina. They have this to say about their music: “We're interested in stories. How a melody comes home soundly to a place it didn’t grow up. How a major chord troubles your sleep with minor insinuations. How we look to the horizon, no matter how wide the plain between us.”
