Catalogue Note
Récit autobiographique et philosophique sur le pouvoir de l'écriture et la puissance de la littérature. Pour Sartre, "Lire" et "Ecrire", les titres des deux parties du livre, sont les deux principaux éléments fondateurs de ce qu'il est. Il démystifie aussi l'enfance et, non sans une pointe d'ironie sensible tout au long du texte, affirme que l'enfant est "un monstre [que les parents fabriquent] avec leurs regrets".
L'année de la parution de cet ouvrage, Sartre se vit attribuer le prix Nobel de littérature qu'il refusa.
