Read it along with the Fall back in secondary school. Didn't remember much of it until now. Read the Myth of Sisyphus and the Stranger in college. The moral of Sisyphus is that life's meaninglessness is not to be rejected but to be endured with defiance rather than resignation. The Rieux character is an embodiment of this. It's telling that you think he's a mark against the novel's realism. Sartre and Camus were some of the first philosophers I ever read but my opinion now is that they are both great writers but not great philosophers.

I also felt much of this book was extra, which is weird, because conciseness is one of the reasons I loved The Stranger. It feels like he crossed the line between being suggestive and overinsistent.

Great video! I love Camus, so I may be a bit biased, but I think that this feeling that the book is long and somehow repetitive is not a flaw, I think this is intended. Just think, this is exactly what we are living now, a long and repetitive life, an apparently endless succession os repetitive days... isn’t it? You see, Camus is very concise in all his other books, in every and each one of them, so why is he different in this one? Well, I think that he really succeeded in conveying the anguish of the confinement through the style he adopted. Anyway... But since we’re talking about Camus, check his play Caligula, I think it’s my favorite book ever! Just great! Thank you for the videos and newsletters, I love it! Stay well!
