Now Catelli has expanded on his research in a book titled The Death of Camus. Camus died on 4 January 1960 when his publisher Michel Gallimard lost control of his car and it crashed into a tree. “They rigged the tyre with a tool that eventually pierced it when the car was travelling at high speed.”Until today, everyone thought Camus had died because of an ordinary car crash. “They managed eventually and in such a way that, until today, everyone thought Camus had died because of an ordinary car crash. Thus ‘car accident’ should now be filed in another drawer as ‘political assassination’ – and thus Albert Camus was silenced when he was 46 years old,” writes Auster in a foreword.
