"("The Aesthetics of Resistance") . . . which (Peter Weiss) began when he was well over fifty, making a pilgrimage over the arid slopes of cutlural and contemporary history in the company of "pavor nocturnus," the terror of the night, and laden with a monstrous weight of ideological ballast, is a magnum opus which sees itself . . . not only as the expression of an ephemeral wish for redemption, but as an expression of the "will" to be on the side of the victims at the end of time."--W. G. Sebald, "On the Natural History of Destruction"
""The Aesthetics of Resistance" is centrally important to any kind of assessment of twentieth-century German history."--James Rolleston, editor of "A Companion to the Works of Franz Kafka"
