"The correspondence between Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno, which appears here for the first time in its entirety in English translation, must rank among the most significant to have come down to us from that notable age of barbarism, the twentieth century. Benjamin and Adorno formed a uniquely powerful pair, Benjamin, riddle-like in his personality and given to tactical evasion, and Adorno full of his own importance, alternately support and compete with each other throughout the correspondence, until its imminent tragic end becomes apparent to both writers. Each had met his match, and happily, in the other. This book is the story of an elective affinity. Adorno was the only person who managed to sustain an intimate intellectual relationship with Benjamin for nearly twenty years. No one else, not even Gershom Scholem, coaxed so much out of Benjamin." "The more than one hundred letters in this book will allow readers to trace the developing character of Benjamin's and Adorno's attitudes toward each other and toward their many friends."--Jacket.… (mer)

An extraordinary document of a philosophical friendship, and one that was interesting precisely because of the ways in which Adorno and Benjamin were so different. Adorno kept wanting Benjamin to be a good Marxist, Benjamin kept wanting to be a good something else. It's particularly interesting to read this in conjunction with the Benjamin-Scholem letters, in which Scholem is urging Benjamin down an opposite path.

The final letter is Benjamin's suicide note, and it never fails to bring a lump to my throat. ( )
