Need help remembering a philosopher

[sEsposito]

I remember reading a pretty fascinating story a few years ago, and I want to recommend it to someone -- but, for the life of me, I cannot remember the philosopher that authored the story.

It was about a few men awaiting their death by firing squad.. I know its probably something everyone remotely interested in philosophy reads, but I just can't remember who wrote it.

Any help is appreciated.

Are you thinking of Men without Shadows, a play by Jean-Paul Sartre?

The Wall by Jean-Paul Sartre is probably what you're thinking of.

I guess Men Without Shadows touches on similar situations, but The Wall is actually a story, not a play, and is much more popular and widely read, so it's more likely that's what you're thinking of.
