Camus was getting at the same idea I think.
I'm reading this version at the moment, which I think is the same O'Brien translation? It does throw you in the deep end from the get-go, and it definitely started off way over my head- but I thought that was more just because I don't read much literature (maybe one book per year). I will say that some chapters are much easier to digest than others, but also if I'm not in the right mindset it's just in one ear & out the other. If I've re-read the same paragraph more than 3 times & still don't understand it, I just move past it...
Good to hear his other works are easier to understand in comparison though, maybe I should've chosen a different one to start with!
The Myth of Sisyphus, by Albert Camus. The discourse on the limits of our understanding and our freedom in futility really helped me with my depression in a very practical sense.
Well, read instead of whining
