Need to update with quotes. Good overview of the life and works on Camus. Makes more sense if you’ve read the literature the author references.

In this book, Albert Maquet’s analyzes Camus’ writings like a dissertation. He strings each of Camus’ books and essays into a fine necklace of pearls and points out their common iridescence: the philosophy of Camus. This book has a lot of $12 words and exhausting run-on sentences that forces the reader to re-read between the camas. But, once Maquet’s is understood, his concepts are highly thought worthy.
I have a question for anyone out there that has heard of Albert Maquet (not the painter): Has he written anything else? Who is this guy?
