I've been working my way through 'Illuminations', the Walter Benjamin collection edited by Hannah Arendt. A year or so ago, they published an edition of Benjamin's "The Arcades Project" which is his unfinished, perhaps unfinishable, magnum opus. That's next of the 'working through' list. I think it's remarkable how fruitful a place Paris was in the first 30 to 40 years of the last century. One of my favorite aspects is the Diagelev/Nijinsky/Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo era, particularly as documented in the journals or 'conversations' of Igor Stravinsky with Robert Craft. ...edN Thanks for this cite.
