Camus is perhaps about as overrated as Orwell. A great writer, no doubt, but the shout about him exceeds the accomplishment.Graham Greene used to be overrated, but now would be underrated if he weren't neglected: no "rating" at all.
I don't know if Camus is overrated as a writer, but he was an estimable human being, principled and courageous. Sartre, on the other hand, has surely been overrated. Talk about mauvaise foi.
