Non-Fiction Biography
Elizabeth Hawes’s passionate pursuit of Camus began with her
college thesis. A biography-memoir, Camus, a Romance reveals
the man behind the famous name: the French-Algerian of
humble birth and Mediterranean passions; the TB-stricken
exile who edited the World War II resistance newspaper
Combat; the pied noir in anguish over the Algerian War; the
Don Juan who loved a multitude of women; the writer in
search of a truer voice. These form only the barest outlines
of the rich tapestry of Camus’s life, which Elizabeth Hawes
chronicles alongside her own experience following in his
footsteps, meeting his friends and family, and trying to
enter his solitude.
