agravereader's review against another edition

The only certainty in life is death. So, really, what is the point?
I laughed out loud multiple times throughout this book, and I'm excited to read more Camus in the future. Absurdism and nihilism are so closely related, and if I'm not careful, i find myself subscribing to Mersault's points of view.. and reading this as a criminal defense attorney was especially interesting.

the way the sequence of events led to the guilty verdict were weird but in a way that was kind of relatable. the detached but wanting nature of the main character really resonated with me - i loved how the very end drew back to his mother and how they both felt alive before their deaths.
