- Annotation
- Explores the relationship between Camus s existential philosophy and The Old Man and the Sea, comparing Santiago to Sisyphus. Characterizes each as alone and isolated in his repetitive struggle that must end in defeat, but who refuses the escape of some ultimate religious consolation. Gives an existentialist reading of the novella s Christian allegory, climaxing in Santiago s crucifixion.
