I read this book as part of a book club with my philosophy professor, and I have to say that is the best possible way to consume this book. I enjoy reading a lot and tend to gain much from the books I read, but I was able to understand the context and depth of this story better by discussing it with a true expert on Camus's perspectives. This story is a true deep dive into the ramifications of absurdism and utter disconnect from the people around you.
