Thomas Busch, Villanova University 'No English-speaking philosopher has read [Sartre's] vast corpus with greater industry than Mr Flynn. His new biography scrutinises the works chronologically from start to finish. It includes Sartre's fiction and plays as well as the political or critical essays. Mr Flynn has done Sartrean initiates a large service.' The Economist 'In its range - it encompasses the totality of Sartre's entire non-fictional career, including the posthumously published works - Flynn's study is a tour de force.' Sarah Richmond, The Times Literary Supplement 'Flynn's study effectively reclaims the Sartrean legacy for this century and reminds us of the importance of the imagination in the toolkit of a revolutionary.' Sean Ledwith, Marx and Philosophy Review of Books 'His book belongs in the collection of any college or university with a philosophy program, and on the shelf (and in the hands) of any serious student of Sartre or twentieth-century philosophy.'
