Review title: A book that could have been reduced to 10 pages
Product review: "Nausea" was a book that nauseating in the repetition of its theme. Over & over again I was given examples of the existentialist's universe that is indifferent to man's presence. There were moments that Sartre twisted, and invited the reader to ask "well... why not?" He challenges the value that we put on people & events while reminding us that this is all happening within a universe that doesn't care about our contrived evaluative mechanisms.Interesting ideas, but even for this already slender book, the ideas could have been conveyed in a 10-page short story. "Nausea" as a tale (without the philosophical element) isn't entertaining enough to stick with to the end. So, Sartre offers examples of his ideas "ad nauseum."
