About Me

This is not me!!!!.. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --tnote[You can bypass this document]-- ..TR Albert Camus
Your Literary Style Is 66% Realistic, 66% Philosophical, and 83% Psychological! Your literary style most resembles Albert Camus'. Camus was a French writer who was heavily influenced by existential philosophy. All of his work is very philosophical and concerned with existential issues such as the meaning of life and the possibility of morals without God. Camus was also a very cerebral writer, examining the thoughts and feelings of his characters in order to bring out his existential philosophy. His characters frequently ponder their situations and the absurdity of their lives, making them very vivid psychological portraits. Unlike most philosophical writers, of course, Camus' style is also very realistic and tends to avoid allegories or symbolism in favor of a true representation of existence through a study of a character's psyche. Your literary style is similar to his because your stories are realistic, psychological studies which emphasize intellectual issues in philosophy.

Some stories you may enjoy: The Stranger, The Plague, and The Fall. The other literary styles: Edgar Allan Poe / Jorge Luis Borges / Franz Kafka / F. Scott Fitzgerald / Fyodor Dostoevsky / Herman Melville / George Orwell

the concept of "top 8 friends" . . .

. . . doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It feels like I'm singling out 8 friends about all others, which feels really unfair and contrary to the whole concept of a friend. So basically, I just ...
