Necessary Angels: Tradition and Modernity in Kafka, Benjamin, and Scholem
Robert Alter
In four elegant chapters, Alter explains the prismlike radiance created by the association of three modern masters: Franz Kafka, Walter Benjamin, and Gershom Scholem. The volume pinpoints the intersections of these divergent witnesses to the modern condition of doubt, the no-man’s-land between traditional religion and modern secular culture.
