The Wall 
This brilliant snapshot of life in anguish is the perfect introduction to a collection of stories where the neurosis of the modern world is mirrored in the lives of the people that inhabit it.
Oh you know those whacky existentialists . . . just a typical beach read, really. Early chick-lit. Love the stories, they are colorful and fairly realistic in the way they depict the ridiculous, repetitive or futile behaviors people exhibit (other peeps, not me, of course). I'm guessing that Sartre must have been hella good times at cocktail parties. Wonder who would have won in a death match between Jean-Paul, Al Camus and lil' Freddie Nietzsche? (I'm betting Nietzsche, he was uber-efficient.)
If all five short stories, included in this book, have such level of mastery and strength as titular story this would be one of the most splendid examples of literature. But, sadly, this collection of short stories is rather inconsistent. "The Wall" itself ia a haunting travel into inner life and experience of a man condemned to death, brilliant in its depiction of the smallest impulses of human psyche in this extreme (of course, borderline in existentialist meaning) situation and striking in

did u know? im doing a speech on existentialism. i have to maintain my brand of "teenager suffering existential crisis almost all of the time."will copy and paste my speech outline when i write it.p.s. just read the wall, not the other short stories (YET! bc sartre owns my ass and i will get to them soon enough)
Consisting of a number of philosophical and psychological short stories, this originally-French anthology is one of the most eye-opening yet frightening reading experiences.
If I had to pick a single common theme in the five short stories compiled in this book it would have to be self-actualization. Of course Sartre's self-actualization not only differs from the eastern Atman and Buddhi, it damn near opposes them. Each short story portrays the protagonist's confrontation with the utter absurdity of life; and each protagonist refuses the prepackaged gift-wrapped souls that they've been handed through choosing a divergent path of their own. Some through wreaking
Overall I am very impressed with how much Sartre can accomplish in so few pages in terms of story telling. A great and clear introduction, an intriguing climax then a surprise ending and a very relatable perspective to a characters world view under very strange circumstances during the whole time...The Wall: I am quite impressed with the way the author describes the physical state of characters. I had to stop a few moments to think about how they feel, and how I would if I were in their shoes. A

And as the morning draws inexorably closer, the men cross the psychological wall between life and death, long before the first shot rings out.This brilliant snapshot of life in anguish is the perfect introduction to a collection of stories where the neurosis of the modern world is mirrored in the lives of the people that inhabit it.
