Albert Camus on Happiness and Love, Illustrated by Wendy MacNaughton
In this new installment of the Brain Pickings artist series, I've once again teamed up with the wonderfully talented Wendy MacNaughton, on the heels of our previous collaborations on famous writers' sleep habits, Susan Sontag's diary highlights on love and on art, Nellie Bly's packing list, Gay Talese's taxonomy of New York cats, and Sylvia Plath's influences. I asked MacNaughton to illustrate another of my literary heroes' thoughts on happiness and love, based on my highlights from Notebooks 1951–1959 (public library) – the published diaries of French author, philosopher, and Nobel laureateAlbert Camus, which also gave us Camus on happiness, unhappiness, and our self-imposed prisons.
The artwork is available as a print on Society6 and, as usual, we're donating 50% of proceeds to A Room of Her Own, a foundation supporting women writers and artists. Enjoy!
Get the print here.

For more of MacNaughton's own fantastic work, see her book Meanwhile in San Francisco and her illustrations for The Essential Scratch and Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert and Lost Cat: A True Story of Love, Desperation, and GPS Technology.
