Camus’ Notebooks: “What do you see?”

06:28:26 :: [psychology] :: 168 words

sample Rorschach ink blotBriefly, since I will be soon starting to post some of my reactions to Camus’ (really very rich) journals from “the early years,” I have to say—if you get the chance, do read them.

They’re like a Rorschach test, of sorts. He writes in such a terse, compact style, approaching Hemingway in its lack of clarification or adjectival exponentiation, that whatever you get out of it is due in large part to what it dredges up in you. His words are the iceberg beneath which lurk a world of subjective meaning. Check them out sometime.

  1.  Walter Says:

    My first thought was “vagina” my next thought is “seahorse”. The first should be discounted though, because whenever I see an ink splot, that’s the first thing that comes to mind. I at first thought that was one of your own because of “recreation”. In any case, that’d be fun to make some!
