This book explores the extraordinary depth of Levi the ethical writer across his entire oeuvre, by way of thirteen so-called "ordinary virtues"--the ways and means Levi forges for practically and compassionately engaging with the world. It draws on a wide range of recent thinking about Holocaust literature and the general relationship between literature and ethics.
