The Fall – Albert Camus

A confession no one asked for — from a man who cannot stop talking. The Fall is Albert Camus' last completed novel — a darkly witty, deeply unsettling monologue from Jean-Baptiste Clamence, a former Parisian lawyer who now holds court in an Amsterdam bar. Once a celebrated do-gooder, he is haunted by a single moment of cowardice that unravelled everything he believed about himself. A razor-sharp meditation on guilt, self-deception, and the masks we wear. One of Camus' most provocative and underrated works. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
