Details

In the short story Jonas or the Artist at Work by Camus, the theme of the tension between our desire for independence and our longing for interdependence was on full display. This theme has been explored throughout the Existentialist's writing we have been reading and will be continued for this week as we read the short play No Exit by Sartre which has been famously summarized as "Hell is other people."

Participants should also note that there will be a colloquium today as well from 3-5pm. If you are available I would strongly encourage you to attend!

Participants should read the entire reading before attending this in person meeting. I will be reading from this version here and a free copy can be found here.

For questions please send me a message or post to meetup.

Best,

Brian
