Sartre's physical condition deteriorated, partially because of the merciless pace of work (and the use of amphetamine) [86] he put himself through during the writing of the Critique and a massive analytical biography of Gustave Flaubert ( The Family Idiot), both of which remained unfinished. He had hypertension, [87] and became almost completely blind in 1973. Sartre was a notorious chain smoker, which could also have contributed to the deterioration of his health.

In a long sequence towards the end of the book Mathieu drops in on a nightclub to meet Boris and Ivich and watch Lola sing. All four characters go through flashes of loathing and hating each other, but also need each other. Boris tries to touch Lola for the money he knows Mathieu needs but makes up a clumsy cover story and causes a big argument with the singer. He loathes her. She hates him.
