Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-27 00:00:00 Michael Radcliffe Jean Paul Sartre is an intellectual hero of mine and reading this book by Gerassi was a mind blowing experience . Tito himself a political activist and artiste in his own right . Born in the midst of a creative renaissance his father was Sartre's best friend . His mother fled to Vienna to become a singer and was a rebel from a convent . They then were introduced to Jean Paul Sartre and the literary seeds were born . This book is fascinating for friends and foes of Sartre's work adding a human dimension and real honesty . A precious read and worth owning .

Review # 2 was written on 2020-01-20 00:00:00 Robert Winn Read Balzac! I recently reread Le Pere Goriot for the first time since college, and it led me to Graham Robb's marvelous biography. A huge, voracious character who transformed what he saw into the immense 100+ volume La Comedie Humaine. Robb presents a man whose influence both in and outside France is still immense. Next I think I'll read Illusions Perdues or Eugenie Grandet or La Cousine Bette.
