102: A greengrocer's book
Lateral with Tom Scott
The Philosophical Produce
This chapter humorously examines the surprising popularity of Sartre's 'Being and Nothingness' among Parisian greengrocers, pondering the implications of such a phenomenon. Through a lighthearted dialogue, they explore the practical use of the philosophy book as a weight for measuring goods during wartime and the quirks of grocery shopping. The discussion weaves together themes of literature, necessity, and the amusing rituals that characterize daily life in the grocery industry.
