For this meeting we are going to discuss three different existentialist works of fiction, two by Jean Paul Sartre and one by Earnest Hemingway. The former include the short story “The Wall” and the play “No Exit”. The Hemingway work is another short story, “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.” All these are available online. Here are three places they can be found.

There may be other sites where they can be found. Commentaries on each of them are also available. Read the three and see what they say to you regarding your existence. I mean, beyond just the fact that you're still alive.
