French writer and philosopher. At the age of 19, he entered the École Normale Supérieur de Paris to study philosophy and later served as a middle school philosophy teacher.

Sutter is a representative figure of French post-war existentialism philosophy. The main philosophical works include "Imagination","Existence and Nihility","Existentialism is a Humanitarianism","Criticism of Dialectical Reason" and "Several Questions of Methodology". These works have become important ideological materials for the development and changes of bourgeois philosophical thought in the 20th century. Sutter brought profound philosophy into his novels and dramatic creation. His novella "Nausea", his short collection "The Wall", and his long "Road to Freedom" have long been recognized as masterpieces of contemporary French literature. His achievements in drama creation are higher than those in novels. He wrote 9 plays in his life, including "The Fly" and "The Interval", which occupy an important position in contemporary French drama. "The Submissive Prostitute" is a political drama that exposes the persecution of blacks by American racists and places deep expectations on the awakening of ordinary people against racial discrimination. This play embodies his idea that existentialism is a kind of humanitarianism. In 1955, Sutter and his wife, the female writer Simone de Beauvoir, visited China. In 1964, the Swedish Academy decided to award Sutter the Nobel Prize in Literature, but Sutter declined it on the grounds that he would not accept all official honors. He died in Paris on April 15, 1980. The novel "Nausea" and the scripts "The Flies","Asking the Gap","The Submissive Prostitute" and so on have been translated into Chinese.
