This definitive biography is based on five years of interviews with de Beauvoir, and is written with her full cooperation. Bair penetrates the mystique of this brilliant and often paradoxical woman, who has been called one of the great minds of the 20th century, and surely, one of the most famously unconventional figures of her generation. "As a reference work Simone de Beauvoir can be considered definitive".--The Atlantic. 16-page photographic insert.
She told Bair that she never had sexual relationships with women when in fact she did (she details these in her letters to Sartre) and she stated that her letters to Sartre were unemotional and short - just quick jottings down of her day to day life (her letters could be quite emotional and very lengthy). It talks about types of interior designers, education required to be a designer, and interviews from practicing designers. While it's hard to sympathize with Simone, I found myself really disliking Sartre because it seemed like most of the time, all he did was take while Simone did nothing but give - which she seemed okay with, whether this is how she saw it or not.
The only reason I am not giving this biography five stars is that Bair relied on Simone extensively for information. I need that."
This is a very detailed, absorbing, and insightful biography of one of the 20th century's most important and influential writers and intellectuals.. the drinking I do duri
