Got to say that Beauvoir was the first whose attempt to explain Existentialism resonated in my somewhat empty mind. She was translating Sartre as best as she could for people like me. It was only later that I recognized that the others were also trying as best they could to explain these things. I even read most of ‘Mandarins’ because of that, which was interesting more for her description of the end of the war and the return to normalcy among the philosophers of France than for their work.
