Im reading the the Myth of Sisyphus right now, and I really dont think it is much more accessible than many of the other authors that get talked about here.
He's constantly referencing Kierkegaard and others that you have to have read as a prereq to his books

It's this.

"The Fall" is a magnificent work and a few of his plays are nice achievements, but they're ultimately too simple to understand so not "real" philosophy, or something, whatever.

Imagine if he didn't die so young /lit/ (in the most absurd circumstance).

He strikes me as someone who was modest and genuine enough to really continue learning and improving his mind truly - he could have written something unbelievable.

He gets ignored because he didn't read any of the people he critiques.

He gets ignored because people are intimidated by his good looks.

Camus is truly the pinnacle of African lit, but Althusser is pretty good too as far as African philosophy goes

Camus is honestly a shit writer. The French existentialists should stick to writing essays instead of fiction used to push philosophical ideas. How can we call it art when it's nothing more than a vessel for ideology. Where is the beauty in that?

All art is a vessel for ideology dipshit

>>7421093
No, fuck you. This shit is overt and devoid of any artistic beauty. Do you think Joyce wrote Ulysses to push an ideology? What about Shakespeare writing Hamlet?
