Kelsey Ford: Powell's Picks Spotlight: Elif Batuman's 'Either/Or' (0 comment)
One of my very favorite memories from my first semester at college was the afternoon my freshman poetry workshop met up with another poetry workshop to “celebrate” the work we’d done by reading our (very bad) poems out loud for each other...

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis

In a probing philosophical exploration of the act of literary creation, Sartre asks: "What is writing?," "Why write?," and "For whom does one write?"

After discussing existentialism as it pertains to art, human emotions, and psychology, French existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre turns the question of existentialism to the subject of literature by stating that he wishes to "examine the art of writing without prejudice." Sartre eschews the idea of artists and writers comparing their works of art to one another; instead, he argues, "they exist by themselves." Tying into his thoughts on literature, Sartre additionally delves into Marxist politics, the intellectual labor of the writer, the individual reader, and the reading public.
