In 60 years he only wrote eight novels, in accordance with his philosophy of life in which "laziness" is not a vice but a form of contemplation and meditation. As he quotes: "So much beauty in the world, so few eyes to see it." At the age of 27 he published his first book, Les hommes oubliés de Dieu ("Men God Forgot"). During his literary career he became close friend of other writers and philosophers such as Lawrence Durrell, Albert Camus and Jean Genet.

Camus died in a car accident near Sens, in a place named "Le Grand Fossard" in the small town of Villeblevin. In his coat pocket lay an unused train ticket. It is possible that Camus had planned to travel by train, but decided to go by car instead. Ironically, Camus had uttered a remark earlier in his life that the most absurd way to die would be in a car accident.
The driver of the Facel Vega car, Michel Gallimard — his publisher and close friend — also perished in the accident.
