Description

After the War: Force of Circumstance Vol. 1" by Simone de Beauvoir picks up right where "The Prime of Life" left off. At the end of "Prime" France had been liberated, but the WWII was not over, and this book outlines the end of the conflict and the emergence of the non-Communist left, which de Beauvoir later fictionalizes in "The Mandarins". Again, she writes compellingly of her life in Paris with her famous circle of friends including Jean Genet, Albert Camus, Richard Wright and Alberto Giacometti. She writes of interesting travels, including a trip she took to Northern Africa, and of Sartre's work and her own writing (during the course of this book, she writes "All Men Are Mortal", "The Second Sex" and she drafts "The Mandarins").

 The French intelligentsia during this time are grappling with the knowledge of the Holocaust and the onset of the Cold War. Sartre and de Beauvoir were deeply sympathetic with the worlds communists, but Sartre never joined the party. De Beauvoir writes quite a bit about the various left and right publications in Paris at the time, the political views of their editorial boards and the personal and political attacks that were made from their various pages. Their friendship with Camus breaks up by the end of the book as he has become too anti-communist for Sartre and de Beauvoir and the other editors of their monthly publication, Les Temps Modernes.

 

In this volume she also talks quite a bit about her love affair with Chicago writer Nelson Algren ("The Man with the Golden Arm"). She meets Algren on a tour she makes of the United States that is funded by a group that brings her over on a reading/lecture tour.
