A wonderful essay about Theodor Adorno's vacation habits, indeed about the word "Urlaub" and its historical formation. As time goes by, and more material is published, we get to read his lectures, his letters to his parents, his childhood biography so that Adorno and company become historical beings. Someday we read about his Hollywood romances, no doubt. It makes them all the more fascinating, in their particularities. High theory goes down well with a dash of gossip.
