Camus(Landmarks of World Literature Series): The Stranger: A Student Guide
Obviously well researched, this shed unfiltered light on Camus as well as the political and social landscapes of his time. He appears to have had many more struggles than I ever imagined, but, despite exposing "warts and all", the author still presents a man of integrity who is "true to his contradictions". Damn, I love that phrase.
The author is quite conversant with absurdism and existentialism, so the full meanings and implications of Camus' writings were explained.....and will be forgotten.
The passage was stupendous:
Camus, who was an excellent theologian, repeats that, whereas innocence is a unity, guilt is a form of division which leaves man without any core of character, makes him subservient to others, and forces him to realize that he is an "other" to himself.
Learning that Camus could also hold a grudge? Priceless!
