The Plague, The Fall, Exile and the Kingdom, and Selected Essays
by: ALBERT CAMUS

August 17, 2004

I read all this as an ungraduate philosophy major.  It was an amazing experience for me.  I really enjoyed Camus, but especially his novels and especially The Plague. I was obsessed with the 'concept of death' which is why I picked up the book in the first place. It all comes close in this read, closer than a concept.

Speaking of Camus, the photos of this man were always warm.  I never failed to get a friendly feeling about him.  A Frenchman. A gentleman. A politically sensitive, existentialist intellectual. Coffee. Cigarettes. Jazz.   I was really touched by Simone de Beauvoir's description of Camus' death in The Coming of Age. Such beautiful prose about death with mention of their friendship and within this context, she writes about what the death of a friend does to the with-world.
