- 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.
