emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Very slow and borderline boring. Camus writes in very short, non-descriptive sentences. There were a few very well written lines, but only a few. The last four pages were phenomenal, but that’s about it.

06.09.2017: Funny, almost exactly one year after reading it for the first time I read it again due to it being a parting gift of our Au-pair. This time around I got a bit more out of it. The passivity that I criticized the first time felt like horror and dread this time. Maybe worth a third read later on.

09.09.2016: At school I was forced to read 'Homo Faber' and this experience definitely had a bad impression on this book.
I found it very near in tone to it and the protagonist very nihilistic. But as Piulhaniuk's Nihilists are active and destructive, this one was only passive and somehow everything seemed unimportant.
