His works include the novels Antoine Bloye (1933), Le Cheval de Troie and La Conspiration (1938) and the essays "Les Chiens de garde" (1932) and "Aden Arabie" (1931), which introduced him to a new audience when republished in 1960 with a foreword by Sartre; in particular, the incipit "I was twenty, I won't let anyone say those are ...more

“est grandement temps de les mettre au pied du mur. De leur demander leur pensée sur la guerre, sur le colonialisme, sur la rationalisation des usines, sur l’amour, sur les différentes sortes de mort, sur le chômage, sur la politique, sur le suicide, les polices, les avortements, sur tous les éléments qui occupent vraiment la terre. Il est grandement temps de leur demander leur parti. Il est grandement temps qu’ils ne trompent plus personne, qu’ils ne jouent plus de rôle. Lorsque Démétrios assiégeait Athènes, Épicure marchait au milieu des Athéniens. Épicure prenait parti.”
― Paul Nizan, Les Chiens de garde (Jeunesse-Scolaire-Classiques pour tous t. 23)
