{"product_id":"no-exit-and-three-other-plays","title":"No Exit and Three Other Plays","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis edition gathers four of Jean-Paul Sartre's plays, including the one that turned a locked room into a synonym for hell. \u003cem\u003eNo Exit\u003c\/em\u003e is the best known: three dead characters, one lamp, no eyelids, and the slow discovery that other people are the punishment. The other plays vary in reputation but share Sartre's taste for moral pressure and theatrical argument. He writes characters who talk themselves into corners and then keep talking, as if philosophy were a blood sport. The prose is brisk, the situations are staged, and the atheism is confident enough to be almost cheerful. For readers who prefer their existentialism in dialogue rather than lecture form, or for anyone who has ever suspected that eternity might feel like a bad dinner party.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vagabound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48520512635092,"sku":"0394700163","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/5410\/7860\/files\/9780394700168.jpg?v=1787419895","url":"https:\/\/checkout.vagaboundbooks.com\/products\/no-exit-and-three-other-plays","provider":"Vagabound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
