This little volume is the transcript of a speech given by Camus in 1957. It is as relevant today as the day he wrote it. #writersoflitsy #artistsoflitsy

This is from one of my Penguin Moderns, from a speech given by Albert Camus in December 1957.
His speech argued about how an artist has a responsibility to challenge and provoke.
It‘s scary how prescient this is, so long before the current world of social media and people being famous just for being famous....
bailedSad to say I bailed on this one....I don‘t think I‘m intelligent enough to understand the turn of phrase...
I‘m happy at having pushed myself to read more so far this year. I‘m excited to work through my mega book haul as the year goes on!
Having a break from Fahrenheit 451 with this. Love weekends!

Albert Camus' assault on the Nazi opposition to intelligence is still relevant today. When did Society start looking at experts with such suspicion?
Hello, again, my dears! Litsy hasn't heard a peep out of me this past week as we went to the ends of the Earth (Pembrokeshire 💞: see postcard 👆) and there was next to no WiFi. I missed all your book-related enthusiasms but as for the rest of what passes for the world... not so much.
Now I've returned to bookmail from @Oryx ! Thank you, Emma; I look forward to reading it. I'm not familiar with Camus but this sounds very pertinent. ❤ #jbuk
