I just read Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus where he makes a passing reference to a suicidal character from legend named Peregrinos, followed by this footnote.
"I have heard of an emulator of Peregrinos, a post-war writer who, after having finished his first book, committed suicide to attract attention to his work. Attention was in fact attracted, but the book was judged no good."
I'd never heard of Peregrinos before and googling the name doesn't turn anything up. Name sounds vaguely Greek so I thought I'd com here. Does anyone have any information on him?
