And we're back with the second episode of the Big Book Project, in which Atreyee Majumder and Bhavin Patel take on some of our favourite, often obscure and unpopular books, and unpack the ways in which they have made sense to us.

In this episode, we talk about Walter Benjamin's famous essay, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. We talk about the essay's impact on literary, film and cultural theory, and also debate sneakerheads and doomscrolling. Tune in!
