After Kipling, the youngest-ever Literature Nobelist (1957, 44 years) (5)

I believe the answer is:

camus

(Other definitions for camus that I've seen before include "French existentialist writer" , "Albert -, Fr. writer" , "20th century French philosopher and novelist" , "he pondered the human condition" , "Albert -, Fr. author" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
