Oh my GOSH. Benjamin's vignettes are so stunning. If you're going to read a childhood memoir, make it this one.

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.

I enjoyed this book. It really had this sad nostalgia. It was beautiful. Some of the passages felt very personal where's others felt more like comments on how things were at the time and there was a lot of parts hinting to the current days.
