Abstract
Reflecting the profound influence he continues to exert on popular consciousness, _Camus_ examines the complete body of works of French author and philosopher Albert Camus, providing a comprehensive analysis of Camus’ most important works—most notably _The Myth of Sisyphus_, _The Stranger_, _The Fall_, _The Plague_, and _The Rebel_—within the framework of his basic ethical orientation. Makes Camus’ concerns clear in terms that will resonate with contemporary readers Reveals the unity and integrity of Camus’ writings and political activities Discusses Camus’ ongoing relevance by showing how he prefigures many postmodern positions in philosophy, literature, and politics
