A review by borisg
The First Man by Albert Camus

4.0

This was an interesting reading experience, beyond just what a book might offer. The fact this work was unfinished - and includes notes and comments from Camus himself - makes this a kind of surreal experience. On the one hand, sometimes the narrative slides into contemplation that seems almost entirely disjoint from the narrative, perhaps the writer just working things out. On the other hand, the commentary offers a view of other possibilities, of the other ways this story could have been.

I wonder, if in an unintentional way, this adds to the meaning of the book.
