Editorial Reviews
Eric Rentschler, Harvard University
"Gertrud Koch has written a most lucid and much-needed analytical introduction to the diverse work of Siegfried Kracauer. Her study is brief yet comprehensive, both precise and incisive, deferent to previous scholarship yet never derivative. Koch's book is decidedly original in its sensitivity to recurrent metaphors (especially spatial images) that provide crucial points of orientation and focus throughout Kracauer's complex oeuvre."

Review
Noah Isenberg Dissent : Koch does an admirable job of providing a greater sense . . . of Kracauer's life and work. Implicit in her reevaluation is the understanding that readers, especially on this side of the Atlantic, still have much to discover.
