A review by classiccarissa
The Stranger by Albert Camus

4.0

Really easy, brief read. I'll definitely be looking into literary analyses of tis book to get some context for the time and place (particularly the language used to describe the indigenous people of the setting) and on the theme of religion. As an ex-true crime fanatic, I really liked the last fifty pages. I almost felt they should be labeled Acts rather than as Parts, and then remembered Camus was also a playwright, adding another layer to how I interpreted the story. It also reminded me a little of Plath (or vice versa) with the attention to the mundane and a deeply introverted voice.
