The Words: The Autobiography of Jean-Paul Sartre by Jean-Paul Sartre

4.0

sometimes you think knowing more about someone's childhood would account for much of themselves as an adult: this is very true here. By god this man was nuts.
Sartre's discussion of his family dynamic feels very French and very Freud, but then you realise it's not just allusion, and he fully states he's totally okay with incest and probably would have committed it if he had siblings. This was not the highlight of the book. In fact, it could have been left out.
