Albert Camus s lively journals from his eventful visits to the United States and South America in the 1940s available again in a new translation. In March 1946 the young Albert Camus crossed from Le Havre to New York. Though he was virtually unknown to American audiences at the time all that was about to change--The Stranger his first book translated into English would soon make him a literary star. By 1949 when he set out on a tour of South America Camus was an international celebrity. Camus s journals offer an intimate glimpse into his daily life during these eventful years and showcase his thinking at its most personal--a form of observational writing that the French call choses vues (things seen). Camus s journals from these travels record his impressions frustrations joys and longings. Here are his unguarded first impressions of his surroundings and his encounters with publishers critics and members of the New York intelligentsia. Long unavailable in English the journals have now been expertly retranslated by Ryan Bloom with a new introduction by Alice Kaplan. Bloom s translation captures the informal sketch-like quality of Camus s observations--by turns ironic bitter cutting and melancholy--and the quick notes he must have taken after exhausting days of travel and lecturing. Bloom and Kaplan s notes and annotations allow readers to walk beside the existentialist thinker as he experiences changes in his own life and the world around him all in his inimitable style.
