“To be alive and think are the same thing(228)”.
This graphic novel was in our HS library.I think it is a reliable,researched,brief readable summary of Arendt‘s life & worksThe graphics are fun,facial expressions & body language authentic,Exaggerations of faces,bodies add a playful element.The language is modern- might that be due to the author‘s intended audience? Examples:Lines are “The Game is AFoot 9.1.1939 (100)”The Fleet Street Pundts(101).”

kspenmoll The author‘s graphic artistry in capturing settings:war‘s destruction, camps, NYC, is elemental to the author‘s grasp of time & place,& reveals a sense of realism throughout. #adventuresinphilosophy #HannahArendt (edited) 5h

This presents a reimagining of historically marginalized experiences by bringing magic into the mix. Similarly to LGBTQIA+ gatherings being broken up by policing forces, the magic users in this book run secret broom races, hidden from the persecuting eye of the law. I greatly enjoyed this book and even more so after reading the end notes. Incredibly inclusive. I happy cried a little. #LGBTQIA #Magic #Indigenous #BlackExperiences #DisabilitiesRep

I really enjoy the way Lucy Knisley's nonfiction comics are told. Her work is reflective and engaging. This book in particular is captivating as she reflects on different aspects of her life to pinpoint where her love of culinary experiences came from. I love the illustrated recipes throughout too and now really wish she had a graphic novel cookbook out. #comics #nonfiction #food

Germans are rounded up in France & transported to up in France the Velodrome D‘Hiver. After three days living there listening to “ uselessblather” & sleeping its lice filled straw mattresses, Arendt proclaims she finds “one intelligent, truth, telling person to talk to, to argue with sensibly, to dialogue with… Myself.”107).

New God's meets the Coen brothers. King often writes mini-series about obscure characters, but these guys are *very* obscure. The best part is the Helmet of Fate being the narrator
