A Cafe worth sitting in and experiencing for a good while
At the Existentialist Café: Freedom, Being, and Apricot Cocktails with Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Others by Sarah Bakewell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Excellent
Whether you already think you know Existentialism and Phenomenology or think you do not care, this is an excellent and readable work. Part philosophical history, part multiple biographies, part personal and ideational autobiography, part history, part sociology, this is a Cafe worth sitting in and experiencing for a good while.

From Merwin
Everything that does not need you is real
W. S. Merwin
This is how I write
“A sight, an emotion, creates this wave in the mind, long before it makes words to fit it.” Virginia Woolf
“Beneath memory and experience, beneath imagination and invention, beneath words, there are rhythms to which memory and imagination and words all move; the writer’s job is to go down deep enough to feel that rhythm and let it move memory and imagination to find the words.” Ursula LeGuin
