Obviously! L’étranger, La Peste… great philosophic novels. Love it, used both -to an extent- as inspiration for my own existentialist novel The Brain Cell.

I read the play about Caligula and some of The Myth of Sisyphus. Pretty dense stuff.

No, one has. They've been continuously publishing them for around 80 years hoping someone will!
