Camus really cooked with this one. I also love how you can see his development of ideas from this novella to his Reflections on the Guillotine essay.

Mersault, walau mungkin ia tak menyadarinya, memang telah terlepas dan berada di luar lingkaran masyarakat. Ia melihat dunia adalah dirinya: tubuhnya yang bergerak secara mandiri, waktu yang berjalan terus-menerus tanpa henti—juga tanpa perasaan, dan selalu berulang, yang mana, segalanya tak ada yang lebih penting selain menunggu ajal—dan ia harus benar-benar senang saat menghadapinya.
Dunia memang jenuh, dan bagi Mersault, ini membingungkan. Perasaan, sulit untuk dibedakan, bahkan, rasa mencintai dengan dicintai, baginya, hampir tak bermakna.
Membaca novel ini akan jadi penting jika anda ingin mengenal konsep absurdisme Albert Camus.

I can't stop thinking about this book. It really makes you think and it somewhat reminds me of Dead Man Walking, which is a great movie. This book explored how law and justice works which I have an immense interest in. It's a great book that I am grateful I picked up.
EDIT: I just realised that I looked at the book completely differently than what the author intended. This wasn't a novel about the justice system, rather the indifference that one man has towards life. Searching for the meaning of life while also being idle in pursuit of meaning. I think I need to re-read this novel so I can get the most out of it but I like the approach to this sense of life's absence in meaning through a philosophical lens.
