Nope, and even then he's more of a philosopher than a novelist.

With that line he totally deserved his Nobel Prize.
He might not be the best philosopher of all time however his work is brilliant !

I consider him a philosopher, so yes.

Even in this plane of existence, you have sprung the trap of Camus' elaborate ruse

He's not an academic philosopher - not an analytical one anyway - but his works have strong philosophical themes and pose philosophical questions.

I actually have a degree in philosophy, so I can actually say, in earnest, that I am qualified to answer this question. I am glad my three years qualified me for something.
