Archie Hamerton's Reviews > Walter Benjamin Stares at the Sea

A really very fun collection of stories which often tend towards the Borgesian, despite their obvious and open inspiration being found in the writings of early C20th Mitteleuropa, that of Zweig and Roth and the titular Benjamin. The short story told in footnotes was excellent fun; the ghost ship full of quarantined sailors with the same names was fab; loved the twin brothers who were respectively deaf and blind. And the final story of the friends was lovely. Enjoyed! Hope this does well when it’s released
