As Tyler would say, my care meter is running low. This final section of the book dealt with women, food, money, politics, and God.
Though Beauvoir was his closest female companion and occasional lover, there were no holds barred in his description of other women.
There were few foods Sartre even liked. He disliked all fruits and vegetables, crustaceans, and meat. The only meat he liked were eggs and sausages. Combined with his affinity for cigarettes and liquor, it's no surprise he was in such poor health toward the end.
As far as money is concerned, he never really understood it. He never budgeted for anything, carried his cash with him, and never counted it.
It's interesting that Beauvoir spends a great portion of the book discussing why Sartre was an atheist, when he changed his mind and believed in God before he died. Not surprising...just interesting.
