Summary: Two Criminals Ham It Up
Comment: The statutory rapists Simone de B and JP Sartre neglect to mention the hordes of students they raped in this swan story of their sick love.
To get a glimpse of one of many that get glossed over after having been sexually harassed and raped by this duo one could read A Disgraceful Affair by Bianca Lamblin.
She was seventeen when these two old fogies began to do her.
It's amazing how the communist left sees itself and its heroes as such innocents when they were criminal scumbags from the ground up. Trained in anthropology these creeps would have known better than to see themselves as such perfectly innocent people.
A disgraceful pair whose memory stinks to the heavens and cries out as a warning to young leftists everywhere that you will end up as filthy as these two cochons.

Summary: Never thought that Sartre could make you cry?
Comment: Then you need to read this book. It is Simone de Beauvoir's first-person account of the last ten years of Sartre's life, and it is heartbreaking to read in several places. Her descriptions in particular of his final few days are wrenching, and I did actually cry as she described Sartre's death. The prose is characteristic of de Beauvoir: deeply and intimately detailed, meticulous, and dense in some places. But the reading is ultimately rewarding as it gives the reader an even more thorough understanding of the devoted side of de Beauvoir--and the very human and mortal side of the great philosopher Sartre.

Summary: A Beaver's Tale
Comment: Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre were *the* couple of the 20th century. For all the immense history they created, it may be beyond our ability to imagine just how and why they were first drawn together, or more why they *stayed* together right up until Sartre's death in 1980. This two-part memoir is remarkable for its poignant intimacy, first as an historical record from 1970-1980, and then as a transcription of de Beauvoir's own interviews with Sartre during that same period of time. These two were a rough mix, as though that was a revelation. And, ironically, it's perhaps de Beauvior's own deep emotional commitment that comes through most clearly in these pages. On the other hand, we're also offered a fascinating view of their long public life together. From the times of divided German-occupied France, to the political activism of the 60s and beyond...and, above all, the writings they produced! If anything, this book reveals how moot is the point of Sartre's caustic personality, and to what extent he may have "used" her. (As if a woman of this caliber *could* be used!) Their focus was always on the change they hoped to produce in the world. Well, and for de Beauvoir, at least, there was also the issue of their own personal relationship. Therein lies the charm of this book. You won't be disappointed.
