Hey, /lit/. So I'm thinking of picking this up soon but I was just wondering if I'm going to have to have read anything else before this to really understand what's Camus is talking about, or if I can just jump right in.

Reading The Stranger can give you some insight into his philosophy, but it is not required

That or the Greeks

Pretty decent book, doesn't require much context.

He refers to Nietzsche and Kierkegaard a lot so at least have an idea of what they stand for.

I read the penguin ideas version because I could get it really cheap. Dont know what the 'other essays' here are.
