"Heidegger in the Literary World shows us that we might do well in taking Heidegger's cue and treating literature and poetry with the same care and, indeed, reverence he pays to Trakl, Rilke, and again, most of all, to Hölderlin. The editors invoke Jacques Derrida to define the ethics or politics of reading at work in the volume, but they could equally well have stayed with Heidegger to outline such principles of reading. That is, the aspiration to reach that height of critique which Heidegger called Auseinandersetzung.-- ""German Studies Review"""
