1 For a comparison of the two novels see Margot Kruse, Philosophie und Dichtung in Sartres La Nausede, Romanistisches Jahrbuch, 9 (1958), 214-25. Theodore Ziolkowski in his study, Dimensions of the Modern Novel: German Texts and European Contexts (Princeton, N. J.: Princeton University Press, 1969), presents a highly perceptive reading of The Notebooks in which he characterizes Malte's response to experience as aesthetic; in another chapter of the same book, Ziolkowski observes certain parallels between The Notebooks and other novels, including Nausea (pp. 272 ff.). Walter Sokel compares the attitudes toward sexual love in the two novels in a valuable paper presented at the Second Annual Conference on Twentieth-Century Literature at the University of Louisville, Feb. 28-March 1, 1974. (I am grateful to Professor Sokel for sending me a copy of his paper.) Philip Thody, in Jean-Paul Sartre: A Literary and Political Study (New York, 1960), considers that the argument of Nausea leads to aesthetic solution (pp. 13 ff.). Iris Murdoch, in Sartre: Romantic Realist (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1960), attempts to differentiate Roquentin's goal in writing from the aesthetic solution represented by Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Proust, but her description of Roquentin's purpose still suggests attempt at through art (pp. 8-9). Hazel E. Barnes, in Sartre (Philadelphia and New York, 1973), discusses the aesthetic solution in Nazisea and also Sartre's admission that for thirty years he himself made literature absolute (pp. 45-47, 91-92, 172-75). W. J. Harvey, in Character and the Novel (London, 1965), discusses Roquentin's aesthetic solution in terms of autonomy theory of art (pp. 155-58). Leo Pollmann, in Sartre and Camus: Literature of Existence (New York, 1970), presents a valuable discussion of the structure and conclusion of Nausea (pp. 22-28). Henri Peyre, in Jean-Paul Sartre (New York: Columbia University Press, 1968), sees the conclusion of Nausea as an attempt at through art, or at parodying such a salvation (pp. 26-28). Joseph H. McMa-
