During the Second World War Albert Camus was an editor for a French Resistance newspaper called Combat. Jean-Paul Sartre was captured by the Germans, as a prisoner he read Heidegger, wrote his War Diaries, in 1941 he was released into the public by the Vichy Regime for poor eyesight. Jean Genet, during the second world war, served a number of jail sentences for vagabondage, lewd acts and thieving. I recently subjected Baxter to a crash course on all three writers. Why? He has promised to behave a little longer.
