Existentialist Literature

Post by LitChick90 »

Hello!

So I'm on a bit of an existentialist kick - I adore Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre - as well as reading non-fictional texts and essays.

What would you ready readers recommend to be next on my list?

Anything existential welcome!

The Trial by Franz Kafka... it brought to life to me what it means to be in a nightmarish, kafkaesque situation!

Coincidence - We were just talking about the book The Martian by Andy Weir on another thread. I think that the plot of this book is a pretty good example of an extremely existentialist(ic) situation.
