Publisher's Synopsis
The late Werner Hamacher enjoys a legendary reputation beyond the narrower limits of his trade. By combining the most solid German philology with his erudite knowledge of German-French philosophy, his texts acquire a unique voice, internationally acknowledged for its unparalleled sophistication. Highly self-critical, Hamacher was notoriously reluctant to allow more than a handful of his texts to be published during his lifetime. "Keinmaleins" finally makes available Hamacher's essays on the poetry of Paul Celan, whose work Hamacher kept interpreting with astonishing intensity throughout his life. The volume also contains a preface by French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy.
