“Maya Bernstein-Schalet’s essay, ‘The True Image of the Past Flits By: Walter Benjamin and the Brain on Alzheimer’s,’ is a beautiful meditation that masterfully weaves together and connects life and death, family history, neuroscience, and literary theory. Bernstein-Schalet’s work calls us to re-examine our conceptions of philosophy and language and reveals for us the healing, restorative power of the creative spirit amidst disability and disease.” - Editors Paul Weber and Ryan Allen
