Compared Writing Syles

Camus's writing style is very detached. He presents a feeling of a lack of emotion, ironically enough. He is very choppy and short and sweet getting to the point with simplicity yet behind his simple writing style is great detail. He describes the surroundings such as the morgue or even the background or certain areas with grand adjectives giving you a real solid visual while all the while keeping everything such as the characters, reserved and quiet. This is similar to Conrad's style in the sense that great detail allows you to dive into the story with illustrative awesomeness yet they are also both on the dry, boring side making sometimes difficult to get through the page. But similarities with Kafka as well with the short choppy flow and reserved characteristics of the characters.

  1. yet behind his simple writing style is great detail. Good observation to not oversimplify his style.
