Albert Camus

In many ways this work can be seen as a first sketch for Camus's renowned early novel, The Outsider, but it can also be viewed as a candid self-portrait, drawing on Camus's memories of his youth, travels and early relationships.

A Happy Death

Camus does such an amazing job at capturing the melancholy feeling of life but yet the innate, human desire to embrace it for the sake of embracing it

I think the parts that were the hardest for me to read were the ones in which I disagreed with the protagonist's theories and opinions. But by the end I was tearing through the book, trying to discern meaning behind a book that focuses on just being.
