Resumen de Les Carnets de la drôle de guerre de Jean-Paul Sartre: effets d'écriture, effets de lecture
As a soldier during the winter of 1939-40, Sartre kept a diary. An incomplete version of this diary was found and published, after Sartre's death, in MICHEL CONTAT ET JACQUES DEGUY : LES CARNETS DE LA DRÔLE DE GUERRE DE JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, EFFETS D'ÉCRITURE, EFFETS DE LECTURE. The place these writings occupy in Sartre' s œuvre is examined from several points of view : chronological importance, textual interest, real events as opposed to the fictional diary of La Nausée, their place within Sartre's imaginative universe and their relation to the War Diary genre. The fate of these Carnets has turned out to be paradoxical : conceived of as an impossible book, they were read by a few friends and then forgotten.
