Albert Camus

Favorite thing: This philosopher and writer was born in and died in Oran. He loved the place and suffered with what he was as injustice.
I have just found a 1961 copy of La Peste, set in this town, in French, which I will start reading asap. It was recommended by my wonderful friend ManuelEB of VT.
Incidentally 1961 is when Camus died in a car accident and the year of independence of Algeria from France.
