Today we talk about the concept of exile from the work of Camus. We focus on a couple stories from his book Exile and The Kingdom. We talk about why Camus insists that true lucidity can only arise from the jarring lived experience he calls “exile,” not from armchair reflection. We talk about Janine’s desert epiphany in “The Adulterous Woman.” We talk about school‑teacher Daru in “The Guest,” trapped between France and Algeria, whose double exile shows how history can choose for us. We talk about the everyday escape hatches—nostalgia, comfort contracts, curated news bubbles—that let people dodge exile until reality blindsides them. Hope you enjoy it! :)Sponsors:ZocDoc: <a href="https://www.zocdoc.com/PHILO">https://www.ZocDoc.com/PHILO</a>Incogni: <a href="https://www.incogni.com/philothis">https://www.Incogni.com/philothis</a>Thank you so much for listening!
