There is no such thing as history, you see. It's a dream, perhaps
even a dream of a dream . . . Walter Benjamin is dead. One of the
most radiant minds of the twentieth century has been snatched away
by death in a small town on the border between Spain and France.
His thousand-page manuscript, carried the length of France during
his flight from the Nazis, has vanished with him, never to be
recovered. Jay Parini's extraordinary novel traces Benjamin's steps
back through time, from the salons of Berlin to the winding roads
of Catalonia. A tale of escape and pursuit, Benjamin's Crossing
dramatises one of the most moving peripheral episodes of the
Holocaust; and above all, it is a love story.
