This author argued that while a hovel depicted by a painter is always open to interpretation, a writer can depict it as a “symbol of social injustice.” Questions like “For whom does one write?” are posed in a book by this author that advocates for socially “committed” or “engaged” writing, What is Literature?. With his wife, this author cofounded a literary magazine whose title translates as Modern Times. One of this author’s characters fails to convey his philosophy to the (*) “Self-Taught Man” Ogier (“oh-ZHYAY”) while in Bouville. This author’s study of Flaubert is titled The Family Idiot. A history of the Marquis de Rollebon is abandoned by Antoine Roquentin (“on-TWON roh-con-TAN”) in a novel by this author. For 10 points, name this author of the existentialist novel Nausea. ■END■
