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.
