A boy from Algeria just sent me his name.

Albert Camus is a huge player.
You better watch your climb on his mount.

@Pfuzylogic what does that mean?

Pfuzylogic · M

@LilirWyddfa
Camus wrote a story about Mount Sisyphus, very key to modern French existentialism a philosophy that Jean Paul Sartre also elaborated on..

LilirWyddfa · F

@Pfuzylogic I don’t know what existentialism is. I read Les Mains Sales in school.

Pfuzylogic · M

@LilirWyddfa
That is Sartre. He also did “No Exit” where he depicted hell as other people.

I identify with Jean Paul. @Pfuzylogic

@LilirWyddfa
He was incredibly visceral.
Another famous Novel was “Nausea”.

I’m sorry. I don’t understand all the words you use. My English is quite good but I don’t understand visceral and I don’t understand nausea. English is my second language. @Pfuzylogic

@LilirWyddfa
Visceral would put a very cutting edge of anger to his writing. Nausea is the same as getting sick and throwing up your food.

I know Jean-Paul rejected a lot of what he saw. I understood Camus a lot more. And Mauriac. I loved because he is bordelais comme moi. @Pfuzylogic

Bodelais?
Bitter?

Bordelais means from Bordeaux. @Pfuzylogic
