Simone de Beauvoir
Without pretensions of saying more than I know, I can only decry Simone de Beauvoir as a leading woman still. I first read The Prime of Life five years ago and then I read it again. Her life is an inspiration, to a writer, to a woman, outside of all the philosophy. Blood and Guts is a short piece of fiction I’ve written about reading Simone de Beauvoir.
She Came to Stay
A fictive tale: Jean-Paul Sartre meets a young russian woman and the triangle of love that follows.
The Second Sex
Yes, every woman should read this, though it may be “outdated.”
Autobiographies: The Prime of Life, Force of Circumstance
The life of Simone de Beauvoir intrigues me. How she began to write, her relationship with Sartre, anything about Paris, being a woman… I could go on. In her autobiographies she reveals everything I want to know.
