To join the party was for a writer a kind of death. . . Sartre . . . believes that once the bourgeois intellectual enters the Party, his freedom of expression is limited not only by formal discipline but also by an anxious striving to prove his innocence, to live down his original social sin. . . (such literature gets) involved in ritualistic ideological formulas, constant praise for the Party, the cult of personality, and a naive division of the world into the good and the evil. For him, dogma and freedom were antithetical. In his opinion, a valid appeal to the readers potential liberty depended on a more subtle, indirect and mediated treatment of man and society.
