If you know nothing about Jean-Paul Sartre, this is NOT the book for you. Unlike most biographies, this book only covers the last 10 years of Sartre’s death. I say death, because that’s how long it took him to deteriorate. Yes, it’s over 400 pages long. Adieux was written by close companion Simone de Beauvoir and translated by none other than Patrick O’Brian. The first section is simply a catalogue of events: We went to Athens. We went to Spain. Sartre wrote an article. Sartre testified in such-and-such a case. Sartre was incontinent.
Oh, and Klaus Croissant is the best name ever!
