Just when I least expected it, Benjamin is explaining his methodology!

Amid the dense commentary on Baudelaire, Benjamin periodically slams the reader with incredible one-liners such as, 'Fashion determines, in each case, the acceptable limits of empathy.'

This is more than I wanted or needed to know about Baudelaire, but I will persist nonetheless.

Does the Kindle version of this book download correctly now? I purchased it on Kindle about 2 years ago and it was incorrectly formatted. Curious, Andrew N.

I couldn't tell you, sorry. I'm reading a paperback copy found in Oxfam and don't have a kindle.
Does Oxfam still mean Oxford famine relief? I just read Metaphysical Animals about Phillippa Foot, Mary Midgely, Irish Murdoch and Elizabeth Anscombe and that was mentioned. I am tremendously impressed that you are tackling this time. I am 52 years old and I think I am only now ready to read it! Best, abn
Yes, it's that same charity which began in 1942 but now you can buy secondhand items from their website. I find it an excellent source for out of print books that the library doesn't have. The Arcades Project has been on my to-read list for more than a decade and is an appealingly unusual reading experience so far.
I meant to type "tome" not "time" - Lol. I would like to read all of Benjamin someday. Please check out my review of his Illuminations and let me know what you think. Best regards, Andrew N.
