Reviews

""This is a very serious work of thought that makes a valuable contribution to current discussions about language in the writings of Heidegger and Holderlin. There are passages that are memorable not only for their insightfulness, but also because in an extremely condensed formulation, a genuinely original intuition is articulated with clarity and precision. It is a virtuoso performance."" - David Michael Kleinberg-Levin, author of Gestures of Ethical Life: Reading Holderlin's Question of Measure After Heidegger
