Existentialism and Humanism by Jean-Paul Sartre
3.0

I studied this book for two years during sixth-form as part of my Pre-U. At the time, we were all a bit nutty about Sartre. In retrospect, I think this can be attributed to the novelty of it all.

I used to know this book inside out: now, I’m struggling to make sense of it. Granted, I did re-read it rather quickly—but that isn’t to say that I glossed over it. I agree with Sartre’s sentiment here, but his prose leaves a lot to be desired. This was hardly the epiphany I had been hoping for.
