La Chute d'Albert Camus (Essai et dossier)
From the Back Cover "La chute est peut-être la plus grave des oeuvres de fiction d'Albert Camus. [...] celle qui, peut-être, résonne le plus profondément, le plus longuement dans la conscience et la sensibilité du lecteur, qui touche aux fondements les plus essentiels de l'être. Aucun des livres de Camus ne risque d'encourir le reproche de futilité. Mais sans doute parce que Clamence semble s'adresser directement à nous, parce qu'il nous entraîne, à sa suite, dans une réflexion qui ne peut rester objective ni purement intellectuelle, nous n'échappons pas, en lisant La chute, à une interrogation sur nous-mêmes, à une remise en cause personnelle d'ordre moral particulièrement impérieuse."Jacqueline Lévi-Valensi.

In an interview in 1945, Camus rejected any ideological associations: "No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked…"
