Hay un tipo de escritor que aparece ya todo hecho en su primera novela. Ocurre con Céline, en el Viaje al fin de la noche. ocurre con Moravia en Los indiferentes. Y ocurre también con Sartre en La náusea, primera novela tardía, publicada cuando el autor tenía 33 años, donde ya está toda la complejidad del personaje, con todas sus contradicciones y las diferentes facetas que desarrollará después en el resto de sus obras. En La náusea tenemos ya la fórmula "exister c'est être là, simplement", lema del existencialismo sartriano cuyo desarrollo teórico culmina en El ser y la nada. Y también ese presente fenomenológico que tanto influenciará a los autores del Nouveau Roman. En la figura del Roquetin historiador que lucha por darle un sentido a la vida del marqués Rollebon está ya en germen el Sartre de las biografías de Baudelaire, Flaubert, Mallarmé y Genet. Y también la obsesión por la fealdad y la mirada de los otros.

Una crisis de identidad parece inminente. Su padre decide llevarlo a su fábrica para que contemple aquello que él heredará.

Critical Essays (Situations I) contains essays on literature and philosophy from a highly formative period of French philosopher and leading existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre’s life, the years between 1938 and 1946. This period is particularly interesting because it is before Sartre published the magnum opus that would solidify his name as a philosopher, Being and Nothingness. Instead, during this time Sartre was emerging as one of France’s most promising young novelists and playwrights - he had already published Nausea, The Age of Reason, The Flies, and No Exit. Not content, however, he was meanwhile consciously attempting to revive the form of the essay via detailed examinations of writers who were to become central to European cultural life in the immediate aftermath of World War II. -- Provided by publisher
