Surviving the Fall
Abstract
In the first line of Camus' The Fall (La Chute),' we meet a man marooned in a seedy Amsterdam bar. He calls himself Jean-Baptiste Clamence, a self-styled judge-penitent. For over a hundred pages, Clamence addresses us and woos us as he draws us further and further into his labyrinthine, demoralising tale.
