A long time MayDay Radio project coming into being ✍️
Look you! This book was long in the making - and it came about through Sam Dolbear and me rewriting, eating neon food in the Bundesarchiv and undertaking extraordinary visits to the son and daughter-in-law of our main subject, Walter Benjamin's childhood friend Ernst Schoen.

Just to say: Our work isn't waged, so we can only offer limited technical and administrative support, but we would love to hear of ideas and project, and support them as much as we can, and provide our website as a platform.
Another convolute in the mix, in our attempt to turn the arcades project into an audio book. This time Avery Gordon reads from W on Fourier. Fragments on utopia, cosmologies, childhood, work, and desire. Listen here, in order or mixed up together: audio.maydayrooms.org/audio-…
