Camus references a vast number of contemporary and classical works. He weaves a tapestry of ideas from his influences to lay out his seminal philosophy. The prose can be dense and slow going, but the result is rewarding. I recommend familiarity with Don Juan, Kafka, or, Dostoevsky. Would be five stars if the style was more approachable or less French.
