Our December book discussion of The Fall by Camus was held Dec 20, 2020. We were joined by Kirill Thompson and Joseph Danielewicz.

KIrill commented on The Fall, Night Train to Lisbon forms a nice juxtaposition with The Fall in that the character is the opposite of Clamence... He is an earnest professor of philology and classical languages, harassed and abandoned by a more worly wife... When he passes the girl on the bridge.... He looks back and when he sees her about to jump he rushes to her rescue... After she vanishes from the scene, he finds her cost, with a philosophical treatise in Portuguese in the pocket... Which causes him to delve into her mystery, the richness of the book and travel to Lisbon...
