"On page 0, Just started this, I had found the it with another book in a box on the street in the upper Haight in SF. I been thinking I should read all of Camus's books, and there it was! A Camus book I had not heard of, so I took it to read. Starting off, very mysterious, a single-narrator rant, similar to the Beckett novels I read a month earlier. Will be attentive to parallels." — Aug 26, 2026 09:22AM

"On page 21, ‘One critic said, ‘—his latest work—reached even greater heights.’ But has it, really? There are still nights I can’t sleep—nights when that strange feeling takes hold—as if I’m swelling up. ‘You asked me why I gave the blanket to that couple—Do you know what she said to me then? She said, ‘You see—we’re nothing. We’re human trash.’ I couldn’t say anything—I just stood there—All I could do was pat their cold heads.’’" — 10 hours, 47 min ago
