Dear Michael,
then you might perhaps be interested in the correspondence between Benjamin and
Adorno (edited by Henri Lonitz, Frankfurt 1994). It provides very interesting
insights into both authors� "work in progress", their mutual inspirations and -
of course - their disparate biographical backgrounds. I do not know if there
exists an english translation.
And now something different: Since you are a book shop coordinator you might
perhaps have an idea where I can find the following title I am searching for a
long time: Mira Komarovsky, The Unemployed Man and his Family, New York 1940
(only first edition). I would be grateful for any information about this book.
Best wishes
Joachim
