I’ve read about Camus sporadically over my adult life. In your essay I finally learned that he was Algerian and born into poverty. I’d always thought he was an upper middle class frenchman. Your essay opened my eyes to seeing him and his work with fresh eyes. I resonate with the comparison between Zen and the myth of Sisyphus. I recently spent a year being a companion to someone who struggled with dementia. We found our place in the joys and sorrows of the present moment. His appreciation for the birds, the garden outside, his dog never wavered. I was happy to share in that. Thank you again for this encouraging essay.
