SAT Novel - the Fall
The Fall is a philosophical novel written by Albert Camus. First published in 1956, it is his last complete work of fiction. Set in Amsterdam, The Fall consists of a series of dramatic monologues by the self-proclaimed judge-penitent Jean-Baptiste Clamence, as he reflects upon his life to a stranger. In what amounts to a confession, Clamence tells of his success as a wealthy Parisian defense lawyer who was highly respected by his colleagues; his crisis, and his ultimate fall from grace, was meant to invoke, in secular terms, The Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden. The Fall explores themes of innocence, imprisonment, non-existence, and truth.
Camus style of narration is a type of second-person monologue written in the likeness of Notes from Underground, by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Both authors used their main characters to address their readers directly; however, Camus narrative was written in the first-person present tense, thus assuming that the reader will join the main character, Clamence, in the novels imagined sphere of discourse. In a eulogy to Albert Camus, existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre described the novel as perhaps the most beautiful and the least understood of Camus books.
