On Hannah Arendt and Mary McCarthy’s Decades-Long Friendship

lithub.com/on-hannah-arendt-and-mary-mccarthys-decades-long-friendship

Only one of Hannah Arendt's close women friendships ever made it into print as a standalone volume of letters. The rest, with Hilde Fränkel, Anne Weil and others, stayed buried, revealing an intimate, embodied side of the philosopher her public writing on friendship and politics never captured.
