Albert Camus on How to Be Cool

NOTE FROM LB: When I was introduced to the concept of “cool,” back in Junior High, it came in two flavors.

There was Elvis Presley cool. And there was James Dean cool. All it took for me was one look at young Mr. Dean in Rebel Without A Cause, and I knew that was my future. It had to be.

Now, however, I’m older and wiser and understand the whole truth. The real definition of cool was the writer of The Stranger, The Plague, The Fall, The Rebel, and, of course, The Myth of Sisyphus.
