Overview
Between 1946 and 1981 approximately four thousand page of Sartre's biographical discourse have been published; that's almost two million words. The average reader, however, rarely associates Sartre's name with biography. Sartre spent thirty years of his life engaged in one way or another in writing the biographies of several poets, novelists and dramatists, and one painter, vigorously proclaiming all the while that the primary task of a contemporary writer was to produce literature which mobilized the reading public towards participation in the significant socio-political issues of our time.Book Details
