“This is the book that liberated me - finally. Not by answering my questions but by questioning the questions itself. Mund you - this is no easy read by any standards. But if you can get a hang of it, this is a book not to be missed. Camus was in his twenties and this was probably his first non-fiction work. This is an exposition of his unique theory of the absurd. Begins with a statement that shocks - Suicide is the only valid phlosophical question. And ends with the life solving talisman - "There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn."”
