I'm writing an essay for an existentialism class and I am basically like 80i% done now. Would anyone be open to critiquing/reading what I have so far? If so please drop a throwaway email, thanks.

No, but Foucault was.

Because not only did they ride on Nietzsche's coattails, but they perverted him too.
The only post-Nietzsche philosophers I respect are Wittgenstein, Heidegger and Quine. Maybe Husserl.
James Ward
It depends on how you interpret his works, novels included.
His philosophical essays are pretty solid imo. If I'd really want to call him a hack, I'd mention that his fiction doesn't represent his philosophical views, even when it's clear that a certain character is based Camus. See: La Peste. He has criticized the leap of faith before, but then he has Rieux -who shares much of Camus' views- do just that.

Most of them are notorious obscurantists, dressing up ultimately rather simple points in layers of distortion to make them appear more profound.
