The Storyteller: Tales Out of Loneliness by Walter Benjamin

3.0

Perhaps this assessment is unfair since I am a huge fan of Illuminations and The Arcades Project, but I was not blown away by these stories of fiction. The novellas, fables, histories, aphorisms, parables, and riddles are interesting but do not hold the same weight as his cultural critiques. Perhaps this is a book reserved for Benjamin completionists or those who've never read him.
