It's funny, genuine, and Griffiths comes over as a really decent bloke who can't believe his good fortune to be earning a living writing about stuff he loves.

Reminiscences of a precocious childhood spent within the confines of Frence provincialism before the First World War. After his father's early death Jean- Paul Sartre was brought up at his grandfather's home in a world even then eighty years out of date. In Words he recalls his illusion- ridden childhood- dominated by a false conception of life, ideas and literature- and considers its effect on his work. Essential background to the philosophy of one of today's profoundest thinkers, this self-analysis is also a brilliant study in child psychology and a witty, lucid story that will delight all those who have previously found Sartre over-complex.
