description: This book was published just two years after Camus's death is both a memorium and critical summary. The author, Bree, argues that a central problematic in understanding Camus's place in philosophy and literature is played out in the Sartre/Camus battles and relationship. Bree points up the plan: critical assessment of literary form, political action and philosophical content mixed in with memorials. Some of the essays deal with his life and work in an overview fashion, others with specific works. Some of the essays focus on philosophical analysis and criticism, others are limited to literary criticism.
