Albert Camus: A Happy Death (short read 1)

Albert Camus: A Happy Death

For this week we are reading A Happy Death by Albert Camus, as the first of two short reads.

Camus' novel explores the possibility of achieving happiness in an absurd & sometimes hostile world. Is happiness possible in the face of death? Is it a privilege reserved only for the rich and idle? Is it the goal to which we should devote our lives?

Who are we?
We're a reading group that welcomes all - young, old, completely new to philosophy or well versed, from keen students to those who've never darkened the door of a lecture room. We read both long & short texts - but you don't need to have been coming from the start of our longer reads. You can dive in at any point along the way.

We usually head to the pub to continue the conversation after our meetings.
