  • A fascinating biography of Sartre, a highly idiosyncratic intellectual whose life represented the intense conflicts of living in the 20th century.
  • Shows that Sartre cannot be understood without taking into account his relations with his intellectual forebears, contemporaries, lovers and friends, with whom he conducted a lifelong debate.
  • Demonstrates that his thinking was essentially a tumultuous dialogue with his whole age and himself.
  • Key themes include his experimentation with inherited fictional forms, his relationship to communism and his critical fascination with Freud and psychoanalysis.
