William James) A Short History of Existentialism, 1949 Transcendence and the Concrete: Selected Writings of Jean Wahl. Edited by Alan D. Schrift and Ian Alexander Moore. New York: Fordham University Press, 2016. Human Existence and Transcendence. Translated by William C. Hackett. Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2016. Wahl in literature In 2021, Angelico Press published W.C. Hackett's novella Outside the Gates, based on the true story of Wahl's release from the Drancy Internment Camp. The narrator in the novella is Wahl himself, who alternatively tells what he is experiencing and muses philosophically on his situation in life, his sufferings and the sufferings of others in the war, and on whether or not there is a God. Hackett, himself a professional philosopher, artfully weaves in to the narrative former students and colleagues of Wahl.
