pick“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).”
pickWhile good, there are definitely some caveats. As said before, Arendt had her share of both brilliance and prejudice, and as she‘s a mixed bag so is her biography. I‘m intrigued enough to read some of her work (my first attempt was a spectacular failure, but I‘ll try again), but I‘ll keep my expectations moderate in many ways.
pickThis is between a pick and a so-so for me, but manages to come down just this side of pick. This is a hard book to get through when our country is currently a flaming mess. Arendt also has some problematic views on race that are clearly due to when she was alive. One would hope, were she alive now, those views would be different.

This is such a cool detail. It‘s also unsurprising. Someone spoke about and from a perspective he did not have, so he sought out that perspective. Plus, he reads. He reads voluntarily and happily. I‘m not sure the current resident of the Oval Office knows the difference between a stack of papers and a book. Both are to be ignored and are of no interest to him. Maybe he can identify the book as something to put his Diet Coke can on. 🙄
