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⭐️

Whew 😅…

I think philosophy is so tough for me because I‘m a consumptive reader; I‘m used to moving at a steady pace and when I dive into philosophy I‘m forced to slow down, to remind myself that these essays are not to be read once, but multiple times, to be discussed and dissected.

Anyway, despite its density, I‘m glad I read it. I‘ve had it for FOREVER having come across it in a library sale. It literally fell apart while reading it.

This little book is the translation of a famous speech Sartre gave (Paris, 1946) to further expound on his philosophy. I think it‘s perfect for anyone wanting an explanation of existentialism. I do not agree with this philosophy primarily because I think it underestimates the importance of the situation a person is born into. Nevertheless, it was an interesting read.

One of my favourite things about autumn and winter is how all the design, colours and looks of everything become exactly suited to my taste 🥰 I love Pinterest boards, aesthetic videos, liking TikToks of random rich women making soups in their gorgeous houses. Making this Pinterest board is another item ticked off the bucket list 🎃

I want to make this only No Exit by Sartre. My book doesn't have other plays.

Some 🧠food brought to you by sleeplessness & resulting in an early morning chores/productive spurt.

I was enormously disappointed to learn that this is dream casting & not a project in the works. Buscemi was born for this role.

What were you hoping when you removed the gags that stopped up these black mouths? That they would sing your praises? Did you think when the heads our fathers had ground into the dust had raised themselves up again you would see adoration in their eyes? Here are black men standing, men looking at us & I want you to feel as I do the shock of being seen. For the white man has, for 3 thousand years, enjoyed the privilege of seeing without being seen.
