review coming eventually, but oh my goodness, the growing stone was terrible. it was such a struggle to read a thirty-page story that it was almost embarrassing, but it was just SO BAD. it was really racist and boring, and while i get that it's supposed to be absurd, it should still be good. such a disappointment, because i love all of the other stories in this book, so it was a huge bummer that it was chosen as the final one.

I could have definitely done without the second story, but the others were all great

it's sad cos i really liked my first camus (the stranger), but i didn't really like this even though i'm a sucker for short stories. i liked 'the adulterous woman' though.
