Nausea by Sartre, about which I wanted to start a discussion but didn't want to make a thread; despite it being mostly known for the theme of the meaning, or lack thereof, of human life, I think it's also an interesting entry in the endless debate about the nature of being, the principle of identity and diversity and all that good stuff. What do you think about it?

i read this a few years ago thinking it would be essential doomer core but it was just exceptionally boring, i found the way the themes were represented to be stale. would have preferred Antoine to have not been a schizo

I wanted to read it mostly because I knew very little about both French literature and Existentialism, and also because I know it was a very popular book in the 60/70s. The first part is admittedly a bit boring, but I reckon it gets more interesting after the museum paintings' scene

a me personalmente piace come poeta, anche se ci sono alcune sue opere che mi fanno sentire a disagio (e.g. Il gelsomino Notturno, trovo disgustosa la maniera in cui descrive l'utero, paragonandolo a un fiore). Non è inoltre da ignorare la sua lucidità decadente e il notevole impatto che ha avuto sulla letteratura del Novecento; lucidità e impatto che, secondo me, vengono spesso trascurati nelle spiegazioni scolastiche, ove viene ridotto al poeta che ammira la bellezza delle cose ordinarie, omettendo completamente la profonda inquietudine della sua figura.

No dai stavo scherzando, per fortuna avevo un ottimo professore che è riuscito a trasmettere la complessità del suo pensiero, che va sicuramente oltre alle stelline di Agosto e agli uccellini e i grilli che cantano.

>Il gelsomino Notturno
A me invece è piaciuta un sacco quella, mostrava veramente il suo rapporto inibito e malato colla sessualità, come anche quella poesia sulle educande del convento che scoprono il fiore dall'odore nauseabondo (non mi ricordo il nome cazzo)
