The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays by Albert Camus
3.0
Camus is a literary power few can even compete with, much less match. The Myth of Sisyphus suffers as a result. In laying out his "absurdist" philosophy Camus' prose are so overwhelming that it can be difficult to understand his point. I found myself so taken in by the power and and sweep of the words I would miss the point.
Whether explaining absudism or the weather in Algiers Camus' ability as a wordsmith is well deserved. If you haven't read any of his work I would suggest starting with one of his novels. His essays are a bit harder to grasp. I'm sure I missed a lot in this set of essays and I'll be back to try to pull more of what I know to be in there out.
