Book Synopsis "What is Literature?" and Other Essays by : Jean-Paul Sartre
Book excerpt: What is Literature? challenges anyone who writes as if literature could be extricated from history or society. But Sartre does more than indict. He offers a definitive statement about the phenomenology of reading, and he goes on to provide a dashing example of how to write a history of literature that takes ideology and institutions into account.
