MODERN TIMES brings together an extraordinary collection of Sartrean gems, many of which have never been translated into English before. From writings on food and sex to a mini portrait of his great friend and rival, Albert Camus, the volume contains an amazing sweep of thematically organised writing. Amidst the grander set pieces on communism and the art of biography, are shorter and more revealing pieces on maternal love and masturbation.

Reviews for Modern Times: Selected Non-fiction

In his biographical introduction, Geoffrey Wall describes the 'dishevelled abundance' of Sartre's work and this new anthology certainly does justice to the range of his interests. Many of the pieces appear here in English for the first time. Divided into five sections - 'Cities', 'Sexualities', 'Revolutions', 'Modern Times', 'Portraits' - the book features pieces on subjects from Baudelaire through maternal love and Havana to the Liberation of Paris.
