Graphical biography of Hannah Arendt detailing her life & all of the figures & personalities she crossed paths with. The art is of the “comics page” school of comixing, similar to Joe Frank Ascent & Dragman. Despite an outwardly crude style, there are still a lot of fun little details around & in the background on every page (e.g. the neutral PORTUGAL markings on the ship Arendt & Blucher took from Lisbon to New York in 1940). Although this book is named for her various “escapes”, it also depicts her as having never escaped the influence of her former teacher Heidegger, who became a philosophical crank & what's more a literal Nazi after she left his tutelage. Makes me want to read her essay about Eichmann & the “Banality of Evil”, since I'd thought she was somewhat duped by him, but this book indicates that might not have been the case. It also makes me want to read the unlucky Walter Benjamin's Arcades writings.
