An interesting relation to philosophical absurdism, The Outsider dives into the ideas of existence and its lack of meaning, the freedom it therefore must provide.

The narrative explores grief and loss from a brutal perspective, not shying away from the main characters detached behaviour and the way he gets villainised, ostracised and misunderstood because of it. The character of Meursault is both simple, yet incredibly complex.

The writing itself is easily approachable, easy to read and flows nicely, but encourages the reader to explore deeper within the elements given, making up a story to not only read, but reread and digest anew with every line.

It's a very surprising book. It shows how perspective can change every faith. I was so surprised by how much I like this book. Amazing description of places. Very reflective book. Love how much your perspective change from the beginning to the end of the book. Solid read.
