The Nobel Prize-winner's most influential and enduring political writings, reorganized and recontextualized, with a foreword by Camus scholar Alice Kaplan.

Committed Writing brings together, for the first time, thematically-linked essays from across Camus's writing career that reflect the scope of his political preoccupations. Featuring a foreword by acclaimed Camus scholar Alice Kaplan (author of Looking for the Stranger ), this volume will introduce a new generation of readers to this cultural icon.
