Congratulations Adrian! zu he ni!

Jacob!!!
I encountered Walter Benjamin very indirectly when I was doing some [rather poor] translation work over last summer. I haven't read his treatise on translation, however, nor do I know of anything else he might have written about on other subjects, but I'm fascinated nonetheless, and would be up for a group reading project.
Also, did I tell you I'm in an quartet with Michael Birnbaum?
