<p>"Traveling with a German neighbor affectionally called 'Joe,' Krell reconstructs and repeats Hölderlin's legendary trip from Nürtingen to Bordeaux and back again. <i>Struck by Apollo</i> is what I would call a philosophical picaresque—a journey that prompts biographical, philosophical, and literary musings, as well as educated speculations and profound reflections. For lovers of Hölderlin, it is a sheer delight." — Jason M. Wirth, author of <i>Schelling's Practice of the Wild: Time, Art, Imagination</i></p>
