Lyrical and Critical Essays

x, 365 pp. A collection of essays focusing on the early writings of Camus, edited by Philip Thody and translated by Ellen Conroy Kennedy. "Here now, for the first time in a complete English translation, we have Camus's three little volumes of essays, plus a selection of his critical comments on literature and his own place in it. As might be expected, the main interest of these writings is that they illuminate new facets of his usual subject matter." — The New York Times Book Review
