What to read next?

Hello guys,

I read The Stranger, The Myth of Sisyphus and I'm about to finish The Plague. I'm kind of torn between continuing with the cycle of Revolt with The Rebel or maybe going with Exile and Kingdom first.

I'm very interested in The Rebel but I'd like to read it when I have enough time to really commit to it. The Myth of Sisyphus although a way shorter book was a disproportionately long read, albeit I was pausing and re-reading a lot since the translation was wonky and I wanted to give it enough thought before continuing.

All recommendations are appreciated!

▲ 5 r/Camus

Hello everyone!

Recently I was searching for a chronological list of Camus' books and in the process I managed to read his entire English (and Serbian) Wikipedia page. Both of which I felt were very incomplete. I still remember a lot of stuff my literature teacher talked about and most of it is missing. I eventually got my list from AI but on his English Wikipedia page, I found that Camus used biblical motifs and motifs from Greek mythology in his other cycles. I've never heard that before, and I couldn't have had the opportunity figure it out by myself since I'm only 3/4 books deep (Stranger, The myth of Sisyphus and currently reading the Plague and Correspondance with Maria).

So my question is:

Where can I read more about him? I want something that has a lot of those interesting things which might give me a better insight into his life and what influenced his work.

Thanks in advance!
