Jay Parini is a master of a rare genre: a lyric-biographical novel. The reader is already well known to his book “The Last Resurrection” about the final of Lev Tolstoy’s life, which forms the basis of the film of the same name by Michael Hoffman with Christopher Plammer and Helen Mirren in the main roles nominated for these roles on Oscars.
In the novel “The Way of Benjamin”, Parini turns to the biography of one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. With his complex fragmented texts, which can be interpreted indefinitely, Walter Benjamin is surprisingly at the topical thinker right now, falling into the spirit of time more precisely, more precisely, many of our contemporaries. The fact that the philosopher died in the Spanish border town of Portbow, fleeing the flight from France occupied by the Nazis, Parini already tells Parini in the lips of Gershom Sholem, a friend Benjamin and a prominent researcher of cabalism. Further, the word is provided to both the philosopher himself and various people who knew him - friends, a guide through the Pyrenee, who was a lover who invited him to Moscow for several years
