Reviews

Talking with Sartre is like no other interview book that I've ever read. Sartre's genius and fire figure on every page, often interwoven with the personal details that make his life every bit as interesting as his writings. Gerassi's insightful and argumentative probing brings out the very best in Sartre. A masterpiece, an absolute delight to read. --<br><br>Bertell Ollman, New York University<br><br>--Bertell Ollman

Gerassi's conversations with Sartre are a treat, unprecedented in the voluminous Sartre archives. This is the unguarded Sartre; he forgets the tape recorder. We see it all-the voracious curiosity, political passion, probing honesty, self-deprecating humor, and bragging machismo. Some of the greatest gems are his passing comments. In between the lines we see into his soul. -Hazel Rowley, author of Tte--Tte: Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre -- Hazel Rowley
