LARB reviews:

Natality
Towards a Philosophy of Birth
by Jennifer Banks

"Perhaps this was in part a response to one of her lovers, Martin #Heidegger who, like most male philosophers, fetishized death. #Arendt, by contrast, wrote in The Human Condition (1958) that we are 'not born in order to die but in order to begin.'"
