The Stranger by Albert Camus

4.0

The Stranger follows Meursault, a man who kills an Arab man in Algiers. The murder takes place shortly after the death of his mother (which was crazy to me, but it’s a window into Meursault’s mind.) I loved most of the themes Camus conveyed. However, my favorite was the meaninglessness of life. Meursault’s character moving toward this conclusion was phenomenal. His psyche was already interesting, noting this was a cherry on top. Overall, I’d recommend this novel if you enjoy philosophical stories.
