===Chapter 3: Absurd Creation===
Here Camus explores the absurd creator or artist.  Since explanation is impossible, absurd art is restricted to a description of the myriad experiences in the world. "If the world were clear, art would not exist." Absurd creation, of course, also must refrain from judging and from alluding to even the slightest shadow of hope.

He then analyzes the work of [[Fyodor Dostoevsky]] in this light, especially ''[[The Diary of a Writer]]'',  ''[[The Possessed (novel)|The Possessed]]'' and ''[[The Brothers Karamazov]]''. All these works start from the absurd position, and the first two explore the theme of philosophical suicide. However, both ''The Diary'' and his last novel, ''The Brothers Karamazov'', ultimately find a path to hope and faith and thus fail as truly absurd creations.
