Public Enemies
The dialogue through letters exchanged over a period of six months between the popular nihilist and the leftist philosopher contains themes both deeply philosophical and humanly down-to-earth. The provocative clash of views raises questions about Sartre, Kafka and sex, about the relationship with one’s father and the political left, and about the existence of God. On the one hand, a depressed novelist with a perpetual cigarette in the corner of his mouth, on the other a self-confident, tanned intellectual – their divergent worldviews form a highly inflammable substance.
