This is fascinating in all sorts of ways. Not least, as someone who can only read and understand a little German, it is very interesting for me to listen to Jünger in effect speaking his writing (because he is, here, clearly speaking from a prepared text) — the cadence of those long lists, also there in The Peace Pt 1 and elsewhere, is almost hypnotic. And of course hearing what Jünger valued in Kubin indirectly also says a lot about what Jünger valued in his own work. I'm very glad to have seen this.
