Philosophy noob here. Thoughts on Camus?

The first philosophy book I've read is the Myth of Sisyphus. It was comforting in some parts, and really incomprehensible in others.

How does this compare to his other stuff, or to the works of other existentialists, or to other schools of thought?

>his other stuff
is usually better than Myth.
>the works of other existentialists
better than those.
>the works of other existentialists
top kek, you can't really expect anyone to do a comparative study of existentialism vs 80 other schools.

But on that matter: exis had a lot of appeal because it fit the post-WWII atheist zeitgeist a huge lot. It's also accessible philosophy and it was the #1 school for that part of the XX century mostly because of these two reasons.
