Hannah Arendt: The Last Interview: And Other Conversations

Hannah Arendt: The Last Interview: And Other Conversations - Hannah Arendt These interviews with Arendt are interesting and somewhat disconnected vignettes. Arendt is undoubtedly brilliant, but also, somehow, (perhaps intentionally) off-putting and brash. I found her commentary around her Eichmann writings and the reactions to them most interesting, but certainly would have found them more revealing if read in tandem with her other work. I guess my point is that these interviews are not meant to be read as entities unto themselves. Perhaps I'll give some of them a reread next time I finish one of Arendt's own pieces.
