Welcome to Litsy!

I picked up this short play for a reading challenge on Goodreads. I‘ve never read any Sartre before but this was compelling. Three individuals wake up to find themselves in hell. I‘ll post my favorite quote from the end of the book below, with spoiler tags.👇🏻 I think it sums things up pretty accurately. 4⭐️

The ebook edition I got was kind of garbled at times (weird typos), but I found this a surprisingly brisk read. Nice to finally place some of the quotations that go around in context.

Mostly just read it for this StoryGraph challenge, which echoes a Goodreads challenge: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/b39b226a-7d82-4267-a215-77dde52... But I appreciated it more than I'd expected.

My husband and I went to see this play tonight because a friend of mine played the character Estelle. It was a fascinating play and we loved it! So I figured I'd log it here to remember a fun night.

Huis Clos, de Jean-Paul Sartre

So, do you suppose Sartre was an introvert? #hell #quotsymar20 @TK-421

I liked reading this for a French literature class at university. We had one semester of plays, such as No Exit, Rhinoceros, and Cyrano de Bergerac.

Hell is—other people!

I read Huis clos for my advanced French class and even though I did not understand everything-we will discuss it in class and then I will😄-it was pretty good.
It's existentialism and shows a place where hell is not a place of physical torture. There are only four characters one of which is minor and one room they are in.
3.5/5⭐️

Subversive Cross Stitch is the best! 😄
