At the Existentialist Café: Freedom, Being, and Apricot Cocktails by Sarah Bakewell
A nice mix of biography, anecdotes, and thinking by the principal personalities who gave us the crazy quilt we call Existentialism. They are an odd assortment, and their ideas do not always cohere, nor do they stay fixed over time. However, they changed our viewpoint. Bakewell's research is prodigious, and her prose is very approachable.
