About This Item

London: Macmillan, 1984. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket. x + 152 pages. Between 1946 and 1981 approximately 4,000 pages of Sartre's biographical discourse have been published - almost 2 million words. The average reader rarely associates Sartre's name with biography, but Sartre spent thirty years of his life engaged in oneway or another in writing the biographies of several poets, novelists and dramatists, and one painter. Towards the end of his life Sartre declared that of all the books that he had written those which came closest to his literary ideal were his biographies of Genet and Flaubert. Manifestly, Sartre's existential biographies are a network of contradictions which epitomise the contradictory nature of literature in the society in which we live. This book is an attempt to explain some of these contradictions. **** NOT EX LIBRARY *** 24. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
