    <body><![CDATA[I remember awaiting this book when I had read that the manuscript upon which it was based, a mostly assembled autobiography, was being prepared for publication.  I have long been fascinated by Camus' reflections on life -- especially in The Myth of Sisyphus -- and I was not disappointed by the oppor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29507236">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is interesting in that it not only describes one man's search for information about his father but also the writing process of an author.  Camus died before he could complete this book and throughout there are footnotes describing parts of the book on which he wanted to expand.  It also go...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6809477">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[There is a reason this book was not published before, it simply was not ready. Found in the wreckage of Camus' car, the manuscript was only half finished and contained many margin notes.  I thought the story would give me insight into the mind of the writer, it did not.  There is simply not enough h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36139097">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[this is one of a few books released posthumously (the other being 'a happy death.') this one is really interesting in that the copy seems a lot rougher and there are lots of annotations that give you some clues about how camus wrote and the different directions the book could have taken.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A travesty that Camus never had a chance to finish and polish this manuscript due to his untimely death. It almost feels like two different stories after a solid beginning, which made it difficult for me to keep a connection. But oh, the dream of being able to write like he did!  ]]></body>
