Fiction
From a variety of masterfully rendered perspectives, these
six stories depict people at painful odds with the world
around them. A wife can only surrender to a desert night by
betraying her husband. An artist struggles to honor his own
aspirations as well as society's expectations of him. A
missionary brutally converted to the worship of a tribal
fetish is left with but an echo of his identity. Whether set
in North Africa, Paris, or Brazil, the stories in Exile and
the Kingdom are probing portraits of spiritual exile, and
man’s perpetual search for an inner kingdom in which to be
reborn. They display Camus at the height of his powers. Albert Camus won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957.
