"Avec equilibre, justesse et intelligence, Anthony Rizzuto fait ici une demonstration solide et convaincante d'un theme central et quintessenciel qui illumine toute la configuration camusienne, tant politique et philosophique que personelle et litteraire. Cet ouvrage fait reflechir et reunit avec bonheur un homme, une oeuvre et un contexte sociohistorique. A nepas manquer." - French Review

"Rizzuto's powerful study probes the writer's struggle not only to come to terms with his own sexual behaviour, but also to create a 'language of love' (p. 109) conditioned by justice as well as desire."-- Modern & Contemporary France

"A welcome addition to Camusian scholarship. . . . Rizzuto's powerful study probes the writer's struggle not only to come to terms with his own sexual behaviour, but also to create a 'language of love' (p. 109) conditioned by justice as well as desire."-- Modern and Contemporary Race

"A valuable contribution to this unfinished debate."-- French Studies

"Anthony Rizzuto's goal in this fine book is to "trace Camus' evolution as a writer through those questions of love and sexuality that engaged im deeply throughout his life" (3). He does this brilliantly through a subtle close reading that reminds one of the Geneva style criticism of Marcel Raymond or Jean-Pierre Richard. . . Is a provocative and beautifully written book which will certainly be of interest to all those who teach Camus's work." --South Atlantic Review
