What starts out as the gnarly somewhat comic correspondence of these great minds, becomes a full-fledged tragedy, gun in first act included, in its
second half. The never accomplished/always talked about meeting between Scholem
and Benjamin becomes the utopian meeting point for the political and
theological, as well as a missing point of solace for both Benjamin, as he
moves knowingly onto his annihilation, and for Scholem, as he watches knowingly
the Jewish entity he so wished for acquiring features taken from its worst
enemies.
