A Happy Death is a special novel. There is an episodic nature to the contents, but the unifying element is the understanding of happiness. Camus is one of my favorite writers, I try to emulate him. As this is his first fictional work, it is amateurishly composed, yet I think there is a stylistic value in this. This has some of my favorite prose and the imagery language is beautiful. This is a good novel, and I am very happy to have read it.
