Longest I ever took to read an under 200 page book. I think I might've read a weird translation because the formatting itself seemed stilted unless it was meant to be thematic?
All I really know is Meursault is almost certainly just autistic. But I honestly didn't really care that much despite it being technically well-written and the characters being just interesting enough for me to keep reading anyways.
