The story of Sartre, Beauvoir, Camus, Heidegger et al is strange, fun and compelling reading. If it doesnt win awards, I will eat my copy Independent on SundayBakewell shows how fascinating were some of the existentialists ideas and how fascinating, often frightful, were their lives. Vivid, humorous anecdotes are interwoven with a lucid and unpatronising exposition of their complex philosophy... Tender, incisive and fair Daily TelegraphQuirky, funny, clear and passionate... Few writers are as good as Bakewell at explaining complicated ideas in a way that makes them easy to understand Mail on Sunday
