Bultmann-Heidegger

The Bultmann-Heidegger Correspondence just arrived. It’s been out since February, I think, but it slipped my mind until now. I didn’t see any reviews, but Heidegger’s correspondence is usually better than expected.

The one disappointment was the $8 tariff I had to pay to the delivery man in cash. This seems to happen or not happen almost at random here. Amazon packages sail right in here, and sometimes they charge you nothing for a giant box, and sometimes $8 for a single book.

Electronic items and CD’s and software are always huge trouble, of that you may be sure. My father once sent me a piece of software for Christmas, valued at $150 sticker price. The customs officers contacted me and said there would be an additional tariff of $150 on it. I told them to send it back to America, and they said that would cost $140. So, we just abandoned it. But books are usually not a problem.
