adorno question

[Ralph Dumain]

If you have access to the archives of this list, there as a discussion of
Martin Jay's and other books on Adorno in April 1998.  Since I've already
peed too much in the soup, I won't reproduce here my commentary on Martin
Jay.  I haven't yet got my hands on Jarvis, the first three introductory
books I read on Adorno, and my favorites, in this order, are:

(1) Gillian Rose, THE MELANCHOLY SCIENCE

(2) Martin Jay, ADORNO

(3) ADORNO: AN INTRODUCTION, by Willen van Reijen, with contributions by Peter
Schiefelbein and Hans-Martin Lohmann, translated from the German by Dieter
Engelbrecht.  Philadelphia: Pennbridge Books, 1992.  92 pp.

As for works by Adorno, PRISMS has some great essays in it.  And, while
some people may think HEGEL: THREE STUDIES too esoteric for a beginner, I
disagree: it's a great read.
