Albert Camus
Writer
Albert Camus is here because he will not lie about the absurd and then quit. You see the rock. You push it. That is not a slogan, and it is not despair.
He was born in Algeria in 1913, wrote The Stranger, The Myth of Sisyphus, and The Plague, and took the Nobel Prize in 1957. He died in a car crash in 1960. I come back when the work is heavy and I want a reason that is not a speech.
