ADORNO IN THE NEWS

I just stumbled upon a review of Adorno's CRITICAL MODELS: INTERVENTIONS AND
CATCHWORDS, translated by Henry W. Pickford (Columbia, 404 pp., $37.50):

Rubin, Andrew.  "Grand Hotel Abyss", THE NATION, May 25, 1998, pp. 28-30.

This review focuses upon Adorno's role as a public intellectual in Germany,
contrary to the reclusive image we have of him here in the USA.

I also stumbled upon a much older article I really liked:

Buck-Morss, Susan F.  "T.W. Adorno and the Dilemma of Bourgeois Philosophy",
SALMAGUNDI, no. 36, winter 1997, pp. 76-98.

But this is not news to anybody else.
