A review by the_booktree
Berlin Childhood Around 1900 by Walter Benjamin

5.0

So much to think about! So much to feel! Benjamin is always a dream, but this title is accessible in a way many others of his are not. His vignettes of life in Berlin at the turn of the century do wonders for opening the valences of his poetics. I especially enjoyed the tangible traces of his edits in the multiple editions of certain pieces. I will be reading it again immediately.
