Walter Benjamin among the greats
Walter Benjamin is the sort of author whose works will make you stop and think as you read. This is his first collection of 'fiction' though that term is used with qualifications. The two introductions, including one by another great author, Greil Marcus, are worth the price of admission. Check out Mr Benjamin's other works, and also Jay Parini's novelisation of Benjamin's last days. Excellent.

READ IT
A remarkable work of erudite commentary and poetic observation which paradoxically finds the universal in the particular without allowed the particular to be in anyway sanitized, softened, or sanded down.

Should've gotten the one with other fictions included. Not worth it.
