"No Exit” writer (6)
I believe the answer is:
sartre
'no exit writer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for sartre that I've seen before include "Arrest (anag) - French philosopher, d. 1980" , "Jean-Paul ___, French existentialist, d. 1980" , "Sooner" , "French philosopher, 1905-80" , "Jean-Paul --, French author and philosopher" .)
