"He retired in 1993 to spend more time with his golf clubs and his word processor. Although he continued to teach, lecture and produce another half-dozen books... Civilised, tolerant, urbane and totally unmalicious, he was a marvellous conversationalist - funny, often at his own expense, and always aware that there is a life beyond academic wrangles."

The only problem that I have is that the biographical details are perhaps given too much of the centre stage. Much is made of his early life and the relationship between his parents and grandparents. Whilst these are, of course, important to Sartre, as they are to everyone else, the implication that he became an author because of these relationships, is a little too glib.
Worth a read and I know much more about Sartre the man than before.… (meer)
