You could do worse for weekend reading :). Glad you are interested and also impressed that you are. :)
I’ve been introducing myself to short novels by
two French ‘Absurdist’ authors; La Vie Devant ( The Life Before Us) and Albert Camus; The Stranger. Both very good books. I’m starting small; books 320 pages or less.
2 well told, fictional narritives, bordering on existentialism, but with easy to visualize and digest storylines. Not lost in the ether as with Jean Paul Sarte.
