Nobel Prize inaccuracies

Sartre was neither the first nor only person to decline the Nobel Peace prize. The first individual to decline the award, whether under coercion or not, was Boris Pasternak.

Stub?

Does this really still qualify as a stub? --Isis 23:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC) This was a article I used for my library instruction class.[reply]

Anny

Is there actually any indication in the novel that Anny is English? I always assumed she was French as she refers to the copy of Michelet's History which she had when she was a child. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.188.244.52 (talk) 10:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On page 60ff of the ND American edition, she is described as still buying her stationery at Piccadilly, and is generally made to sound English. William P. Coleman (talk) 21:49, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A First Look

I wasn't sure where people are keeping their notes for the collaboration, since I'm new to it. But I assumed here. I just found out about the collaboration, so I started reading the book. I'm reading it out loud to someone, and, at 18 pages per night, I estimate we'll finish in 10 days. I'll try to do some other research in parallel.

The stub lacks See also, References, Further reading, and External links.

I'm especially concerned about the Psychological section at the end. Without having researched yet, but with some familiarity in the past with existentialism and with Sartre's work, I'd guess that it would destroy the point of the book to imagine that the main character's problem is simply depression or mental illness. I'd think rather that Sartre imagines that Roquentin's problems arise in man's inherent existential condition, and I would guess that his seemingly special circumstances (returning from travel, reclusiveness), rather than just indicating depression, are supposed to induce in him (and in the reader) a state that makes one more receptive to noticing an existential situation that everyone has, but may not be sensitive enough to allow to become noticeable. (Incidentally, I would guess similar things about Dostoevsky and about Rilke. Some of Dostoevsky's characters may be crazy, but their problems and responses are imagined to be universal, and not particular to their neuroses.) These are personal conjectures on my part, and I'd like to find some published critical opinion. William P. Coleman (talk) 05:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

References & Footnotes

Come on guys where are these. This article needs more material less than it drastically needs sourcing. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 08:50, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Additions

I've added some referenced material. More on the way in a day or two. I didn't know how to do the references right -- to get two different pages from the same book. Could someone fix it? Thanks. William P. Coleman (talk) 02:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I've added a fair amount more of referenced material and still have some available to add in the next few days. When I get it all in place, my plan would be to organize this more coherently and effectively. (For now, it's a technical struggle for a newbie editor just to get it put there at all.)

Notice: If not dissuaded, I'm planning to delete much of the material in the "Philosophy" and "Psychological overview" sections, unless references can be found for it. William P. Coleman (talk) 05:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
