I'm finding more merit in this saying, as time goes buy and especially recently. :hmm:
Sartre knew what he was talking about.
Yes. Especially if they are Americans.

No I'm going to have to disagree, on average Brits are slightly more annoying.
Canadians on the other hand are just a bit too polite and boring to get noticed, much.
Hell is people.
Heaven is other people. :)

I never actually read the play, so I don't know what he's actually talking about. I would think it unwise to take it out of context and ascribe meaning to it.
Generally, I tend to discount things said by someone who invents a whole philosophy to obscure his colloboration with the Nazis, but this particular statement may have some merit.
Sartre wasn't a collaborator. Though like de Beauvoir (and unlike Camus) his resistance began roughly when the Paris police joined the Free French.
In terms of the play Raz it's three characters who know they're damned. The man's weak, the straight woman likes strong men and the lesbian's in love with her. They realise Hell isn't a Joycean vision but each other gnawing away for all eternity. Then they laugh. Personally I think you're better off with Beckett, who'd cut the play to about ten minutes.

A lot of my fave raves were Nazi collaborators, come to think of it... :hmm:
Philosophy: Martin Heidegger; political theory: Carl Schmitt; literature: L-F Céline and Knut Hamsun...

I think there's the British movie version on Youtube or maybe some other video site. I watched it a few months back. Really great.
As I noted in my review at the time, it's more like hell is really stupid people, since their short-term problems at least could have been solved with simple courtesy and a threeway.
So straight girl gives it up to two people she's not interested in? How does that solve her problems?
She was interested in the dude.
