Reviews

"""Scrupulous, scholarly, and written with loving commitment.""-Momme Brodersen, author of Walter Benjamin, A Biography -- Momme Brodersen ""What emerges from this rich selection of materials is not merely a fuller picture of these towering figures but also of the working life of intellectual production, deliberation, and publication on the part of a vibrant scene of letters, culture, and activism under threat of imminent dissolution.""--Henry Sussman, Yale University -- Henry Sussman ""With great archival expertise, Wizisla captures the spontaneity, energy, and excitement of Benjamin's and Brecht's thinking in process; their efforts to arrive at an aesthetic that expresses Communist practice; and their struggle to come to terms with Soviet reality under Stalin.""--Gitta Honegger, Arizona State University -- Gitta Honegger"
