"Everyone. Death is the one thing you must never accept. Even if you yeild to other pains, refuse death"

Camus has given me a new lot in life. I want to LIVE.

It's baffling to me how Camus is held in such high regard. The themes and ideas he tackles in his novels were done better in other novels. Who needs The Stranger when you have Satre's Nausea? Who needs The Plague when you have Kafka? Who needs The Rebel when you have Colin Wilson's The Outsider? Of all of his books, The Rebel is his most egregious. Whatever modern literary critics try to say, this book really is as awful as the commies said it was.

The fact that The Stranger is considered the preeminent existential work of our time rather than The Death of Ivan Ilyich says a lot about how quickly intellectual culture shifted after the 19th century. Camus is a mediocrity, a midwit, a pretentious hedonist who used philosophy to rationalize his infantile views on life

Better stick to Camus, he's second-rate, but never that bad.

Nausea is 20 times better than The Stranger and its not even funny. The Stranger is didactic, simplistic, boring to a fault. Nausea has a better meta-meaning, a more interesting character psychology, commentary on many topics outside of existential musings, a fleshed-out environment and character interplay. Most importantly Nausea makes a deeply wretched, pitiful, and almost useless protagonist become a highly sympathetic character: someone who we can all condemn for a number of things yet unavoidably associate with it. Mersault is... detached in a way that angsty teenagers might relate to. Nausea supremacy everyday.

Nausea to me was the story of a man who could have been sympathetic but was simply a hateful, spite filled little man. His detestation for everyone he met without reason was gross and overwrought.

>> No.21470624

>>21470505
By sympathetic, I mean we sympathize with him in his spite. But he does learn to let his long-standing judgements go after his encounter with Anny.
