Discussion of Albert Camus’ Algerian Chronicles

Harvard University Press will release the first English translation of The Algerian Chroniclesthis May. First published in 1958, it’s a fascinating collection of Camus’ writings on the issues surrounding French/ Algerian relations, as he approaches the pressing issues of poverty and corruption, terrorism and injustice, family and colonialism – with a very reflective, well researched, but also sensitive journalistic eye. The book gives us insight into the personal basis for much of Camus’ political thought, and is a beautiful example of a thinker grappling with nearly impossible situations (very similar to many global situations today).

With Alice Kaplan and Adam Gopnik.
