The Stranger - Albert Camus - ★★★★

AUTHOR: Albert Camus
TRANSLATOR: Matthew Ward
GENRE: Absurdist Fiction.
PUBLICATION DATE: May 19, 1942.
RATING: 4 stars.
The English version of Camus's well-reviewed French book, L'etranger. An ordinary man is drawn into a increasingly absurd spiral of events, some beyond his control. Raises questions on what can man do when he is confronted with things that seem senseless.
My very first philosophy based book. But no regrets reading this at all. Right from the first line, you are sucked into the vortex created by the book in your brain. You read and you question and you read and you question...
A superb experience. I'm glad I didn't read this as part of any course because I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much.
