Albert Camus was born on November 7, 1913: some celebratory articles are being published.

I met and submitted one yesterday, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38182365 ... Though content-wise it is so overly focused on Albert's charming looks. :)

How could someone so handsome be so pessimistic about life?
He looked and he judged.

Why should have he been impeded by accidental features.

What points to him being pessimistic? The ending of both the Plague and the Rebel are filled with optimism (or courage as he would rather phrase it). The Fall was a confusing mixed bag but generally it's mostly been positive.
