The First Man

The First Man is perhaps the most honest book Camus ever wrote, and the most sensual...Camus is...writing at the depth of his powers...It is a work of genius.--The New Yorker


When Camus died in an automobile accident in 1960, a manuscript was found near him. It turned out to be the first chapters of his autobiographical novel. At that time, when the French Nobel laureate had fallen from the good graces of many leftist intellectuals, his family decided against publishing the unfinished draft. When his daughter finally published it in 1994 with little editing, it was widely acclaimed by French critics and media. The book covers the first 14 years of the life of Jacques Cormery, a.k.a. Albert Camus. First there is a "search for the father," the undercurrent of a boy's quest to fill a tragic vacuum created by his father's death when he is only a year old. The poverty and difficult circumstances in which he grows up in French Algeria make him feel like an outsider, even when he becomes an adult. Yet the memories of the child are filled with energy and physical intensity. The spontaneity of the narrative by an otherwise reserved writer makes this book a unique document for anyone interested in Camus. Essential for academic libraries and recommended for large collections. --Ali Houissa, Cornell Univ., Ithaca, N.Y.
