George Will, You're organizing a literary dinner. What three writers, dead or alive, do you invite?
Mr. Will: Albert Camus, whose "The Stranger" ignited my compulsive reading as undergrad from 1958-1962.
"The Magic Mountain," like Camus' s "The Plague," is an exhilarating example of literature of political ideas.
Also, Peter De Vries and Margaret Mead.
Comment: Totally agree about "The Magic Mountain."
