Albany, NY – French existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre practiced his philosophy through his unconventionally free relationship with lover Simone de Beauvoir, an early feminist and fellow writer. Their affair and the effect it had on those around them is the subject of "Tete-a-Tete," the new book by author Hazel Rowley. Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina talks to Rowley about what makes the book stand out from other scholarly works about the couple.
