![]() Late in 1942, he cautions himself not to include the word in the title. Initially Camus was even wary of the word plague. They also indicate his continuing insistence that his book carry his metaphysical ideas of the absurd. ![]() Nearly all these early Plague ideas reveal Camus' concern for a truthful realism and a rejection of sensationalism. ![]() During these years Camus kept a series of notebooks and many of the jottings in the notebooks suggest the multitude of ideas that Camus considered before his book was finally completed. It is in this spirit of generalities that The Plague has been considered.Ĭamus' chronicle had been conceived as early as 1939, but was not begun until after France was defeated and the Germans moved their occupation troops into the country. To attempt a thorough analysis would be to suggest that the work was not art but contrived artifice. Camus recognized this difficulty and remarked that only broad outlines should be paralleled in allegorical comment. One critic will charge that the work has been diced into irreparable ruins another will dismiss the same essay as superficial and general. Allegorical interpretations are as elusive and as tenuous as their interpreters. Attempts to explain an allegorical work are, at best, rarely satisfactory. ![]() ![]() She frees Suzui of his debt and becomes friends with him, revealing she has a maniacal passion for gambling.

White men are heralded as the epitome of talent in most canonical fiction, as Vulture pointed out, and books written by and for women are often made to seem less important than those for men. I'm a huge proponent of romance novels, particularly because female voices control many of the narratives, which isn't the case in other types of books. Only you and your bookshelf need to know about those. But there are some books you'd rather stay quiet about, like erotic novels that are too steamy for public reading. One of the best parts about reading is discussing the book with a friend later, delving into the details of the prose and arguing about your favorite characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wrote a column promoting the idea of rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD), citing a flawed study.

If The Swimming Pool Library was the party novel, The Line of Beauty deals with the inevitable hangover. The Line of Beauty is not a sequel as such, but picks up where the earlier narrative broke off, in August 1983: "the last summer of its kind there was ever to be". Hollinghurst's debut novel, The Swimming Pool Library (1988), was lauded for its startling conflation of high literary style and low-rent sex, and presented an eye-opening trawl through the London gay scene, from private clubs to public toilets, in the laconic tone of a latter-day Henry James. ![]() ![]() ![]() If it isn’t happening right away: DO NOT QUIT.
