Camus and Hemingway: Suicide, Sisyphus, and the Leopard

http://www.lib.unb.ca/Texts/IFR/bin/get.cgi?directory=Vol.26/&...

The paper's author discusses how "Despite the absurd, HemingwayÕs achievement proves that there is a difference between dying at the age of twenty and dying at the age of fifty. Both his life and CamusÕs demonstrate that SisyphusÕs endeavors can fill the void with meaning and purpose."
