Great list. As suggestions - The Outsider by Albert Camus.
Thanks! I'll have to look out for it! :)
Apologies. Pressed submit too soon. I noticed the Derrida and I enjoyed A Very Short Introduction to Foucault by Gary Gutting as well as Catherine Belsey's Poststructuralism: A Very Short Introduction.(It's not so much that they're time savers, they're just so succinct and well written when you want to read a relatively complex topic on the go.)
Sounds fantastic! That's exactly what I was looking for.
Can I ask how you came across my blog?
