Fifty years after Camus's untimely death, his work still has a tremendous impact on literature. From a twenty-first century vantage point, he offers us coexisting ideas and principles by which we can read and understand the other and ourselves. Yet Camus seems to guide us without directing us strictly; his fictions do not offer clear-cut solutions or doctrines to follow. This complexity is what demands that the oeuvre be read, and reread. The wide-ranging articles in this volume shed light, concentrate on the original aspects of Camus' writings, and explore how and why they are still relevant for us today.

Dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur entreprend de relire, avec une perspective blanchotienne, André Malraux et Albert Camus, souvent considérés comme des écrivains existentialistes. L'auteur utilise les analyses de Blanchot pour étudier les notions d'absence et de mort qui sont centrales au langage et à la littérature. Les problématiques du témoignage et du rapport à l'autre sont également examinées, ainsi que les liens entre la littérature et l'Histoire. L'auteur fait ainsi ressortir certains aspects des écrits de Malraux et Camus qui ont été laissés dans l'ombre par certains critiques et qui abordent des idées essentielles sur la littérature, l'écriture et la mort.
