Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
These 17 essays by an important European critic of the Frankfurt school deal with a broad range of topics: the essay form, the epic, the narrator in the contemporary novel, lyric poetry and society, surrealism, Beckett's Endgame , and various European authors (Balzac, Goethe, Proust, Valery, Bloch, Heine, etc.). The essays are generally pitched at a rather high level of abstraction and with a Marxist philosophical slant: the response of literature and individual artists to alienation in an industrial/capitalist society is a recurring concern. Though this is primarily a book for specialists and academic libraries, Adorno's thought and highly suggestive remarks are well worth the effort.

Review
Adorno's Notes to Literature, which begins with the high leap of his great essay 'The Essay as Form,' sets an inimitable, always exhilarating standard. A volume of Adorno's essays is equivalent to a whole shelf of books on literature. -- Review
