Who here has read Camus?

I’m starting on The Rebel so that I can discuss it with an acquaintance. So far it seems very much idealist, but I’m trying to give it a fair chance before dismissing it.

There is a whole debate in the literature comparing existentialism, absurdism, Marxism, and other isms, by the likes of Camus and Sartre. I haven’t engaged in it yet. Frankly it seems exhausting and maybe a waste of time, but perhaps there is something useful to glean? Idk, I just hate pointless philosophizing and dawdling.

What is the relationship between Fanon and Camus? Personal or theoretical?
