Not to find oneโs way around a city does not mean much. But to lose oneโs way in a city, as one loses oneโs way in a forest, requires some schooling.
Walter BenjaminLess and less frequently do we encounter people with the ability to tell a tale properly. More and more often there is embarrassment all around when the wish to hear a story is expressed. It is as if something that seemed inalienable to us, the securest among our possessions, were taken from us: the ability to exchange our experiences...Experience has fallen in value. And it looks as if it is continuing to fall into bottomlessness.
Walter Benjamin
