Scholem was a precocious teenager when he became Benjamin's close friend. His account of that relationship - crucial for both men until Benjamin's suicide in 1940 - is at once a tribute to his friend's genius and a lament for his personal and, as Scholem sees it, intellectual self-destructiveness.Scholem, Gershom Gerhard is the author of 'Walter Benjamin The Story of a Friendship', published 2003 under ISBN 9781590170328 and ISBN 1590170326.
