Paris Post war: Art and Existentialism 1945-55
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Yesterday I had lunch with Merlau-Ponty and on Monday with Genet. Genet was very nice, no problems. M. Ponty told me that Magny's nursing a big grudge against us, because of the article - and because of the party as well. Apparently, an anonymous cyclist who just missed knocking Beaufort down in the street shouted at him: 'Hey] Clear off Existentialist]' and on the
radio even sports programmes start off with jokes about existentialism. However, nothing new about you or me in the weeklies.
From Letters to Sartre by Simone de Beauvoir, edited by Quintin Hoare, Vintage, 1992.
