/lit/ - Literature

One of the greatest French novels and Camus was a genius.

One of the worst Argelian novels and Camus was a retard.

My dick is big and it keeps getting bigger, and that's because JESUS CHRIST is my nigger.

One of the most disgusting Belgian novels and Camus was a reverse albino

Camus, Albert. Dislike him. Second-rate, ephemeral, puffed-up. A nonentity, means absolutely nothing to me. Awful.

Trump, is that you?

This one is better

>>13044665
guilty

>>13044740
And this is even better

>>13044665
I tried reading it and it was boring, wasn't going anywhere. I'm sure it's good but I think i'm content with reading the synopsis on Wikipedia.

>>13044665
It's quite shallow but a good introduction to the ideas and nice story. There is a single line that I remember of his still though:
>"There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn"

>>13044753
It only gets good after the murder

>>13044753
the wikipedia synopsis is probably as long as the book you fucking ADD zoomer

I think it has one of the best closing paragraphs in literature history.

>>13044777
trips confirm

>>13044762
The beginning is awesome though

>>13044665
The English should start with "Maman"

>>13044777
Confirmed

>>13044782
Hahahahaha
>Be OP
>Say something unironically absurd
Camus is remarkably brilliant, but, anon

Guilty. They fucking show the guy firing the gun.

I prefer the spiritual successor titled "Naked Came the Stranger."

>>13044868
name one better

>>13044908
The Fall has the best closing paragraph in LITERATURE HISTORY YA FUCKING MARBLE

>>13044918
more like i fall down when i read that shit cus it’s so bad lmfao ownsd

>>13044923
Camus wrote it due to his panty droppage count, fucking housewives ruining marriages, denting bitches, folding them like car seats, soaking panties, getting sucked up the right way, it was an apology to his wife for fucking thots

>>13044665
my mommy died and i'm edgy waaah ablooablooo

>>13045600
What? You fucking vermin, you have to be 25 to post on this board

>>13044665
Both this and Siddhartha were two books that I didn't hate but I kept seeing people everywhere talking about how deeply it impacted them and felt like I missed out because they didn't really affect me at all or seem all too profound at all

Great book and a damnig portrayal of the court of public opinion.

>>13046081
Correction to your typographical error Monsieur, you are still in High School you pussy

>>13046101
suck my dick i have a masters degree in linguistics you fucking sped

>>13044665
Good as an intro to his ideas, and has plenty of outstanding moments (the last paragraph is among the best in literature), but the prose is weak due to Camus trying to emulate American writing. The Fall is 100% better, and it's what truly cements Camus as a literary juggernaut, but due to its complexity one ought to be familiar with his other works first.

>>13046150

The version in the OP uses 'maman' instead of 'mother' though?

>>13046525
Can't tell how did the translation from the cover. But Matthew Ward's translation uses 'maman.'
