At the Existentialist Café: Freedom, Being, and Apricot Cocktails by Sarah Bakewell
5.0
Probably my second favorite book, I've read for 2021!
I had a whole lot of fun getting to know the Existentialists and their histories, and their childhoods, and their heartbreaks and romances; the wars; the conflicts against each other, as intellectuals; as differing nations and schools of thought; and those wars fought within themselves, their thoughts, ideas, perspectives and so on. And so goes another day at the cafe where freedom is freely given or taken, but from what I've learned in reading this book, most certainly ain't cheap.
