Female Guest

"The Guest" is Beauvoir's first novel. When Beauvoir felt helpless in literary creation, Sartre asked her why she didn't write herself into her works. So she was inspired to create "The Female Guest". In the novel, she writes not only about herself, but also about her lifelong partner Sartre, and their friend Olga. Once this book was published, it attracted widespread attention and comments, establishing Beauvoir's position in the French literary world. Beauvoir spent her whole life practicing the model of lovers described in it, and was criticized for it. The elegant Francoise, the young and mean Xavier, and Pierre, who loves these two women, try to establish a harmonious trio between the three. "Three people who try their best to love each other are more colorful..." The trio evolved into a "love triangle", full of jealousy, and hidden suspicion and absurdity everywhere. Françoise, who defended Xavier but suffered from it, finally made a decision.
