Isaacson is a superb biographer. I've read his book on Henry Kissinger, and even though I don't agree with some of his conclusions, I admit that was a good book. I'll have more to say about this book when I'm through with it. But I can say this: Isaacson's writing is worth the reading. And the subject itself? Franklin is only one of four people whose portraits I hang on the wall in my own home. (The others include Niels Bohr, the Danish physicist, and Mao Zedong. And the latter was, perhaps surprisingly, also a fan of Franklin.) Franklin was also a great American. Indeed, Franklin, who was the only signer of all five key documents which created the United States - the Declaration of Independence, two treaties with France, peace treaty with England, the US Constitution - was really and literally the first American. He was mentor to Jefferson (whose draft of the Declaration Franklin edited), and was respected by Washington. If Washington was the Founding Father, then Franklin was the Founding Mother. And while the Father could be cold and distant at times, at least in public, the Mother was always warm and doting.

     Extractions: October 29, 1999: by Larry McMurtry Earlier this year when Larry McMurtry, Texas' preeminent novelist for almost 40 years, published his 23rd novel, Duane's Depressed , which wrapped up the Thalia trilogy that began with The Last Picture Show (1966) and continued with Texasville (1987), he announced that he had written his final novel. Barely had the loud, sad sigh escaped from Texas readers when Crazy Horse , a biography of the famous Sioux warrior, appeared. Now, hard on the hooves of those two books is Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen: Reflections at Sixty and Beyond , a memoir on cowboying, writing, storytelling, reading and book collecting, aging, and fatherhood, and it reminds us once again why Larry McMurtry's shadow looms large over the Texas landscape. McMurtry initially made his presence felt in nonfiction with his first essay collection, In a Narrow Grave (1968). There he wrote about growing up in northwest Texas and hearing the sounds of the passing cowboy god. As he listened to the wind blowing along the Brazos and across the Llano Estacado, McMurtry found "the music of departure faint, the god almost out of hearing." The concluding essay in that collection, "Take My Saddle From the Wall: A Valediction," is dazzling, one of the best Texas essays ever written. Since then, McMurtry's fiction has often focused on the moment when an old order gives way to a new, especially the old rural Southwest's uneasy transition to the new urban order. In this new book transitions are central, too, with the major transitional figure the author himself.

The statement reflects the stance of intellectual rigor... ...ERHAPS WE CAN better focus the whole perplexed image of Benjamin by devoting some attention to the actual nature and direction of his critical writing... ...But when he talks about the "atrophy of experience" he means the atrophy of aura, which thus becomes not a neutral process but an ultimate disaster of modern culture: Benjamin is perhaps closest to 'his spiritual kinsman Kafka in being unable, or unwilling, to accept a reality stripped of its sacral dimension... ...t "L'Eclat et le secret: Walter Benjamin," Critique, Aug- ust-September, 1966.88/COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 1969 ical facts in the interest of her thesis... ...They do not modestly lie at the feet of the doctrine, as the Aggadah lies at the feet of the Halakhah... ...At the time, however, his importance was sensed only in a few limited circles of German intellectuals, some of them Marxists, most of them Jewish...

     Extractions: Walter Benjamin O Walter Benjamin, πρωτότοκος γιος ενός εβραίου εμπόρου έργων τέχνης, γεννήθηκε στις 15 Ιουλίου 1892 στο Βερολίνο. Το 1915 ξεκινά η φιλία του με τον φιλόσοφο και Εβραϊστή Gershom Scholem. Ernst Bloch Το 1919 αναγορεύεται σε διδάκτορα στο πανεπιστήμιο της Βέρνης βάσει μιας λογοτεχνικο-φιλοσοφικής διατριβής με τίτλο Begriff der Kunstkritik in der deutschen Romantik. Theodor W. Adorno Το 1924 αρχίζει η φιλία του με τον Bertolt Brecht. Το 1925 η διατριβή του Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiels για την απόκτηση του τίτλου του υφηγητή απορρίπτεται με την αιτιολόγηση ότι ο τρόπος με τον οποίο εργάζεται δεν αντιστοιχεί στα συνήθη ακαδημαϊκά πρότυπα. Μετά την αποτυχία της προσπάθειάς του να ακολουθήσει μια πανεπιστημιακή σταδιοδρομία στο χώρο της γερμανικής φιλολογίας, ο Benjamin εργάζεται ως δοκιμιογράφος και μεταφραστής μέχρι τον Ιούνιο του 1933, όπου εγκαταλείπει τη Γερμανία κυνηγημένος από τους Εθνικοσοσιαλιστές.
