Lottman reports Camus' movements on his trip to New York during the 1940s, when he was still relatively unknown in the US. There is no real attempt to get inside Camus' head, simply to list where he went and who with. It is a mini-biography stripped to its barest bones: the facts and nothing but the facts. I have read a lot by Camus, but nothing about him, and Lottman's book was illuminating, providing a very human face for the writer. It has little to say about Camus as an intellect, but something about him as a socializer and traveller. Interesting without being revealing. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When Albert Camus arrived in New York he was all but unknown on foreign shores - our shores for example. The Stranger, his first influential novel, was to be published only during his American visit. University specialists knew something about him, and some were already great admirers, as were a handful of francophile journalists. But in Paris Camus was a full blown hero, a young and brilliant author of eminent works, a likable champion of the Resistance. His relative obscurity in New York made him totally accessible, added intensity to his brief stay, for those fortunate enough to meet him then, and for us now as we reach back to recreate those days.
