Status Updates From Myth of Sisyphus and Other ...

“The absurd man thus catches sight of a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given, and beyond which all is collapse and nothingness.”

Camus identifies the meaning of life as a philosophy's most urgent problem. Suicide is an internal confession of doubt hollows out the habit of living. Absurd is defined as the divorce between human longing and the world's irrational silence and one must confront this tension with lucidity rather than eluding it through false escape of hope or death.

I like the ideas in this book but the writing is soooo hard to get through. Camus writes in an overly verbose way, dragging out his unstructured paragraphs and sentences and his ideas in each chapter/section lack a cohesive path to follow. He is just all over the place writing and narrative wise. These references to literature and philosophers that I haven't read and he doesn't introduce, makes this hard to follow
