Despite enjoying Camus's fictional and philosophical works, I found this disappointing and uneven. I was looking forward to a overtly political piece of writing from him. but found this lacking. 

I found some parts engaging and relevant, but remained surface level. Other parts seemed dubious and unsubstantiated at best (like the casual assumption/idea that at one point in time art was made for art's sake alone; this screams ignorance and or blinkered privilege to me, but whatever) and outright incoherent as a line of thought at worst. It's a nice short read for creatives but better for sound bites rather than any critical or deep thought.
