Praise for past volumes of the <i>Diary</i><p> “This indispensable volume offers a panorama of Beauvoir's intellectual preoccupations. The translators and editors are to be applauded for producing such a valuable contribution to Beauvoir studies.”--<i>French Studies</i></p><p> “This diary increases our admiration for Beauvoir's heroic determination to make something of herself. A precious document.”--<i>Bookforum</i></p><p> “This is a truly remarkable book, and a significant contribution to Beauvoir scholarship. Barbara Klaw’s excellent translation provides unique access to the formative years of one of the twentieth century's great philosophers, authors, and public intellectuals.”--Tove Pettersen, President of the International Simone de Beauvoir Society </p>
In addition, the editors include a wealth of important supplementary material. Barbara Klaw provides a detailed consideration of the Diary’s role in the development of Beauvoir’s writing style by exploring her use of metanarrative and other literary techniques, part of a process of literary creation that saw Beauvoir use the notebooks to cultivate her talent. Margaret A. Simons’s essay places the assault by Sartre within an appraisal of Beauvoir’s complicated legacy for #MeToo while suggesting readers engage with the diary through the lens of trauma.
