No Exit Paul Bowles JeanPaul Sarte JeanPaul Sartre Books

I'm not going to be the doofus to rate a Sartre masterpiece anything less than five stars, but I must comment on the quality of the Kindle version I read. There were numerous misspellings and typos, something I just did not expect to encounter. While I was not hindered in my enjoyment of the work, the mistakes were numerous enough to be bothersome. There also appeared to be a mostly useless guided discussion as part of the book that was intermixed with the main text; again, evidence of poor or sloppy editing.

That said, the play is excellent - it's really quite comical. I would have loved to have seen it performed by Monty Python in their prime. And of course, Hell is not other people; it is being forced to realized you're part of les autres to everyone else.

No Exit Paul Bowles JeanPaul Sarte JeanPaul Sartre Books Reviews

It's short but requires you really be thinking existentially when reading it or shortly after. The story itself is good and very unusual. I'm not a fan of plays but it was written very well given the content. I loved all the characters and how it played out. If you're interested in a good, deep play- this is it! You're in hell with these people- that in itself is a doorway to so many interesting questions and the answers aren't always what you expect.
Thank You
as advertised! Delivered on time. Thanks.
It has typos and seemingly random injections by someone other than Sartre. Looks as if the book's been put through a scanner and then straight into the shop. Oh, there are layout issues as well.
Paul Bowles was both a composer and an accomplished writer. He spent a great deal of his adult life in Tangiers – where it was very easy to keep his French current. In any case this translation of Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit is extraordinary. It captures Sartre's intention while imposing an almost palpable tension. A classic translation of a classic play, I heartily recommend it.
A friend recommended this play to me and said it was really messed up. Usually I don't read those types but this one was so well written. I couldn't put it down. I have been thinking on putting this play on with some friends. Great stuff!
Love the idea that hell is just other people. These characters could not behave differently. If they had helped each other, it wouldn't have been a terrible fate. Kind of reminded me of office politics.
