... (b) I disavow any essential connection between my life and what I write. Is this a credible view for writers of literature you have studied? This question will be treated in this essay on the basis of two novels: The Outsider by Albert Camus and The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka To base a literary analysis on the life of an author is always rather vague. One can only guess that there might be a connection between the author's life and his work. There are possible connections between Albert Camus' life and his work The Outsider and also between Franz Kafka's life and his novel The Metamorphosis. Albert Camus has spent half of his life in Algier, the capital of Algeria. He has loved the city with its surroundings very much and it gave him inspirations for his writings. In his diaries, Camus has revealed very often his love to Algier: [translated from German]
