Camus, Albert. The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays. New York: Vintage Books, 1991.
Dr. Vigilant chose this book because:
“I first read Albert Camus’ Myth of Sisyphus as a teenager in the late 1980’s. I have returned to this book and to the capstone essay that describes Sisyphus’ quandary several times over the years. Camus provides a lucid and indispensable description of the late-modern condition (and its absurdity). Like Camus, I try to imagine Sisyphus happy.”
