This book marks a major new reassessment of Camus's writing, investigating the nature and philosophical origins of Camus's thinking on "authenticity" and "the absurd", as these notions are expressed in The Myth of Sisyphus and The Outsider. It shows that these books are the product, not only of a literary figure, but of a genuine philosopher as well. Moreover, McBride provides a complete English-language translation of Camus's Metaphysique chretienne et Neoplatonisme, and underlines the importance of this study for the understanding of the early Camus.
Too many critics have sought to explain Camus's thought without a proper grasp of his formative philosophical influences. In Albert Camus: Philosopher and Litterateur, Dr. McBride greatly enriches our comprehension of a key figure in twentieth century writing.
