The publication of Albert Camus's Notebooks was a decision made by the writer's family and publishers in response to the wishes of many academics, students, and, in general, all those interested in his works and thought. They do not release these publications without reservations: Albert was hard on himself and did not publish anything lightly. So why present to the public an abandoned novel, lectures, articles, files, and even drafts that he himself had not kept as 'contemporary writings'? Simply because when one loves or deeply studies a writer, one often wishes to know everything about them. Those who possess Camus's unpublished writings consider it an excessive injustice to deny this legitimate desire and refuse to allow those who wish to read 'A Happy Death' or 'Travel Diaries,' for example. Academics whose studies, sometimes during Camus's lifetime, led them to review his early or later writings—which were little known or not yet published—believe that the writer's image can only be colored and enriched by reading these works.
