by Albert Camus
First published 2018
In this searing speech, existential philosopher Albert Camus demands that artists confront the moral obligations and personal risks of their craft. From the duty to bear witness to atrocities, to the courage required to defy oppression, Camus lays bare the perils of the creative life. His words crackle with the urgency of one who has stared into the abyss - and insists we all do the same.
