"I've read about 150 pages of deB's biography - probably the most miserable parts as the biographer tries to insert some parity between deB's devotion to Sartre and his need for her. I have long sensed that the beginnings at least were deeply lopsided, with deB in Sartre's shadow. The story of their first mutual lover, a 17 year old student named Olga, only exacerbated that sense. "She was his procurer," I sighed" — Jan 29, 2014 11:22AM

"I am picking up this and 'A History of Mistresses' from the library today. Will set upon them when I have secured the third book in the trilogy: A History of Marriage. Want to review the latter, but only in the light of the other two." — Jan 29, 2014 10:28AM

Mysti’s Quotes

“Books aren't written - they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it.”
