Excerpt from
The Stranger
Albert Camus
Someone once said in reflection of this book that this is the type of guy you would avoid at a party and in my opinion Meursault is not too far off a guy I’ve dated.
How fun and not entirely insufferable to read.

Moderate: Death of parent

I said that people never change their lives, that in any case one life was as good as another and that I wasn't dissatisfied with mine here at all.
Although the perspective Camus presents in The Stranger is painfully male, I definitely found some validation and self-awareness in its oppressive atmosphere and robotic prose. Not a particularly enjoyable read, honestly, but it's encouraged me to research absurdism if nothing else.
Moderate: Murder, Physical abuse, and Domestic abuse
Minor: Death of parent and Forced institutionalization
