Reviews

"Of an Alien Homecoming is a landmark achievement and a unique insight into the still-hidden essence of European modernity." — CHOICE"This is the definitive study of Heidegger and Hölderlin in any language. It goes far beyond its competitors in its reconstruction and evaluation of the historical-political background to Heidegger's engagement with Hölderlin, as well as in its thorough knowledge of the entirety of Heidegger's formidable corpus." — Ian Moore, Loyola Marymount University/St. John's College"A much-needed study that will become indispensable reading for all those wanting to continue the conversation about the importance (including the pitfalls) of Heidegger's 'Hölderlin.'" — Krzysztof Ziarek, University at Buffalo, State University of New York
