My essay on Simone de Beauvoir’s Goncourt Prize winning novel The Mandarins was published early in 2020. Here’s the pdf. Note that there is a snafu with notes 22 and 23 in the wrong place (I only have a pdf of the proofs). The full reference is: Toril Moi, “Acknowledging the Other: Reading, Writing, and Living in The Mandarins,” Yale French Studies nos. 135 & 136 (2019): 100-115. (Special issue: “Existentialism, 70 Years After”, edited by Lauren du Graf, Julia Elsky, and Clémentine Fauré.)
