Join author Matthew Lamb as he talks to writer and editor Jane Rawson about Albert Camus’, The myth of Sisyphus, one of the most misunderstood books of the 20th century. The publisher says: “Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide — the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning.”

Matthew Lamb is the author of Frank Moorhouse: Strange Paths, shortlisted for the Age Book of the Year. He is the founder of Review of Australian Fiction a former editor of Island magazine. He has two PhDs, in Literature and Philosophy, respectively.
