Unquestionably, Camus was one of the most influential writers and thinkers of the 20th Century. The Stranger is one of the most important books of the last 100 years, perhaps ever. So I was a bit intimidated to pick up The First Man, Camus's posthumous autobiographical novel. (Apparently, the handwritten manuscript was in his possession when he died.)
