He died in a car accident

He peaked pretty early imo. The Fall is a bad book, just him beating that same dead horse. The Plague is his best and I doubt he could have topped it. I can see why people like >>9978881 dislike him, his philosophy isn't very nuanced and his novels are just a vehicle for it. Like, everything contained in The Stranger and Sisyphus should be self-apparent to someone living in this day and age. He could occasionally bust out some moving passages though, but nothing to warrant the reputation he now has.

I don't know what you think most people are like but the majority have minimal philosophical leanings and would never consider anything of the sort of what Camus wrote about. I once told my Mum about The Myth of Sisyphus and Camus' ideas and she said 'that's depressing' and never gave it a second thought. Most people are the same

Because he was distracted by smoking so many cigarettes.

This combined with not caring for anything really does make for bad car accidents to be honest with you family.

Hope he's pushing the great boulder in the sky right now RIP

Remember to never waste a good train ticket, even if your friend is offering you a ride in his sports car.

The Fall is an amazing book, I can't name many characters who are better explored and more representative of the crises faced by many men in the modern era.

He was a great writer, way better than Sartre, way better at identifying what other men are going through and putting it to words. Sartre's philosophy describes himself.

Eh, selection bias I guess. Most if not all of the people I regularly spend time with have at least a mild philosophical inclination, and they all moved past Camus quite awhile ago.

I thought he was intolerable. Just a loathsome monologue by a loathsome man. I don't see him as a well-developed character, mostly just a generic stand-in for modern ennui. And I'm thoroughly tired of hearing about modern ennui. The format was the most interesting thing about the book, and even that was fairly gimmicky.
