From Lehmann on Katechon

Yes, this text is much better. Actually I really enjoyed reading it. Obviously in writing letters you manage to organize your reflections best, something that seems very likable to me: your heart truly speaks to your friends. And the way in which you integrate the quotations in the running text is also very convincing. It's like bringing the old texts back to life, to make them speak again, and that's more then just producing a commentary, it documents a real living with the texts (apart from the influence that Benjamin might have here?). Concerning the content I can not go into detail now. Many things you draw on are familiar to me from our talks in Jerusalem. You indeed have an eschatological mind (not to call it apocalyptic). And when your "I" talks about visiting the theater in Jerusalem in 2001 he does so with the voice of a very old, distinguished gentleman. That's also you, coming from the 20ies.Best regards, Sandra
