Review # 1 was written on 2008-11-13 00:00:00 R Jehan The most important book I have read in years....tore through it in one day as if reading a novel, disbelieving that I waited so long to take in this intimate side of the dialogue. The end could destroy you, even if you already know how it goes.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-04-25 00:00:00 Ravin HURLOLL This book is a great read. The correspondence presents the intense intellectual relationship between Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno up to Benjamin's death while fleeing fascism in Portbou, Catalonia. Before embarking on the long journey to {The Arcades Project} and {Aesthetic Theory}, read these letters along with Susan Buck-Morss's {The Origin of Negative Dialectics}. Your interest will spark.
