Adorno

Stefan Müller-Doohm's book is the first comprehensive and detailed biography of Theodor W. Adorno, combining his life and his work.

»With the help of three assistants, Müller-Doohm has brought together all the information that lay scattered in Berkeley, Oxford and Princeton, interviewed all those still alive today who knew Adorno and compiled a synoptic catalog that outlines every day in Adorno's life. [...] Müller-Doohm is a classical biographer with all the right virtues: modesty, enthusiasm, a dedication to the subject matter. [He] always considers Adorno from three sides, tells the story of his life, his work and the historical context, interweaving the three stands masterfully.« Tim B. Müller, SZ
