Written between the age of eighteen and twenty-one, the entries in
the third volume of Diary of a Philosophy Student take readers into
Simone de Beauvoir’s thoughts while illuminating the people and
ideas swirling around her. The pages offer rare insights into
Beauvoir’s intellectual development; her early experiences with
love, desire, and freedom; and relationships with friends like
Élisabeth “Zaza” Lacoin, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It also
presents Beauvoir’s shocking account of Jean-Paul Sartre’s
sexual assault of her during their first sexual encounter--a
revelation certain to transform views of her life and philosophy.
In addition, the editors include a wealth of important
supplementary material. Barbara Klaw provides a detailed
consideration of the Diary’s role in the development of
Beauvoir’s writing style by exploring her use of metanarrative
and other literary techniques, part of a process of literary
creation that saw Beauvoir use the notebooks to cultivate her
talent. Margaret A. Simons’s essay places the assault by Sartre
within an appraisal of Beauvoir’s complicated legacy for #MeToo
while suggesting readers engage with the diary through the lens of
trauma.
