Law Unto Himself

The Archbishop of Fontleberry has done it again.

He really does live in a fantasy world of his own making (twinned with the fantasy world of Roman/Jewish making). The logic seems to be based on the numbers game, again: If enough people support something, it must be respected. I suppose that's a form of democracy.

But I was reading about Camus, this morning. I don't know how I've managed to avoid him for so long, although I disagree with him regarding Kafka's failure as a writer of the absurd (because, he claims, there is a glimmer of hope in Kafka's work).

If anyone has managed to spot that glimmer, can you let me know where to find it? I mean, doesn't The Trial end in a pretty similar way to The Stranger?

Camus says, in an indifferent universe, the individual makes his own meaning. So who can criticise the old Archy Bishop for having a crack?
