[Dialogue] New book

[KarenBueno at aol.com]

I just finished  
“Stranger from Abroad: Hannah Arendt, Martin Heidegger,  Friendship and 
Forgiveness”, by Daniel Maier-Katkin, WW Norton & Co.,  2010 
It is a review of the life of Hannah Arendt, born in 1906  a Jew in 
Germany, and escaped before the Holocaust to the US.  Her writings  are summarized 
in this book, including her reflections on what led to the  Holocaust.  The 
origins of existentialism are also summarized, along  with its major 
tenents, which sound very much like the thinking we were  doing in 5th City in the 
60s and 70s. 
This book is well worth the reading!
