I‘m so thrilled to read that a previously unpublished Simone de Beauvoir novel titled “The Inseparables” will be printed in French later this year and published in English in North America by fall 2021. It‘s based on an influential friendship she had as a child. Anyone else excited for what‘s sure to be a literary event? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/28/books/coming-soon-new-fiction-from-simone-de-...

batsy Yup! I've only read one novel by her so far, The Mandarins, and loved it. 5y
Pruzy @batsy I haven‘t read any of her novels, but The Second Sex was amazing! And I‘m always down for any biography featuring Beauvoir and Sartre! 5y
Cathythoughts I remember we read The Second Sex in college .... but that‘s all a vague memory now. I loved even the idea of her back then .... ❤️ 5y

Pruzy @Cathythoughts The Second Sex is dense! I definitely don‘t remember many specific details from when I read it over a decade ago, but I definitely remember the impressions/insight I was gaining 5y
BarbaraBB I loved The Madarins and especially, 5y
Pruzy @BarbaraBB Perfect! I will add both of those to the reading list! 5y
