Sartre's 'construction of a meaningful existence...' Have you read "Nausea"?
I thought that Camus and Sartre both represent negative existentialism. In the sense that meaninglessness of life is the central theme. Whereas in positive exitentialism (of Buber, Marcel, etc)the hope is not given up. Meaning of life is sought through the relationships.
Albert Camus is not an existentialist actually, this is what he said. Sartre and Camus, they're totally different in most of their ideas (like communism, Algeria, existence)
This book is only about a simple man living under the shadow of absurd. A non-existentialist novelist writing the most known existentialist character of all time, it's just strange.
