Walter Benjamin: Selected Writings, Volume 3, 1935-1938 by Walter Benjamin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"Three essays into this gizmo & I'm totally awed by this guy! Overarching syncretizing intelligence: art, commoditization, architecture, archetypes, epochal dreams of bourgeois markets evolving through 19th century Paris: arcades, dept stores, high end gunk...upper middle class striving 2 b & 2 show as the merchants enjoy the freedom of post empire France...But then 2 an extraordinary review of Brecht's 3 Penny Novel!" I'm can't wait to continue reading!
