Review:

To claim the name of a dead cultural hero is a coy obstruction. In presenting an impossibility as fact, however, Walter Benjamin: Recent Writings makes clear that it plays by another set of rules, eliding the boundaries between historical fact and fiction. (Rachel Wetzler LA Review of Books)
