Stories

Rows of vintage books on library shelves

Ulysses is the most influential work of our times, so it is a privilege to have kept a copy on this page. My own scan from the archive was damaged in transit, so I am linking Project Gutenberg’s free edition instead until I can replace it.

The Stranger is a 1942 novel by the French author Albert Camus. Its theme and outlook are often cited as examples of Camus’ philosophy of the absurd and existentialism — ideas that run through a lot of what I read and write.

Alongside the books that shaped me, I have kept one of my own short stories here.

If prose is not quite what you are after, try the poetry collection, or go a layer deeper into the ideas behind these stories on the philosophy shelf.
