No Exit and Three Other Plays
2 journalers for this copy...
There are four plays in this book. Sartre was a brilliant and independent thinker. I thought the first two plays (No Exit and The Flies) were a bit cliched by today's standards, although I'm sure they were earthshaking at the time. The last two (Dirty Hands and The Respectful Prostitute) still seem relevant, perhaps because they are more specific. Knowing Sartre's influence on modern existentialist thought, I wish I could say I was blown away, but it's not the kind of thing I can fake. Maybe it was just a bland translation...

I got this book years ago and never read it, so I finally decided to sell it ... luckily for me, the store wouldn't take it (too old) so I started reading it instead ... I'll write back to report what I thought. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll release the book if I end up liking it ... it'll travel from my library to my bedroom, but that's about it I think.
