“God would have managed things for me. I would have been a signed masterpiece. Assured of playing my part in the universal concert, I would have patiently waited for Him to reveal His purposes and my necessity. I reached out for religion, I longed for it, it was the remedy. Had it been denied me, I would have invented it myself.”
Jean-Paul Sartre’s autobiographical account of this best-known and most influential writer—a philosopher, a novelist, a playwright, an author of filmscripts, the editor of Les Temps Modernes, and a man committed to the moral, political and literary life of his own times.
