Review: The Stranger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I often wonder what prompted Camus to write this novel. Never have I read something that conveys the protagonist’s emotional detachment so perfectly. The first half feels entirely black and white, almost devoid of feeling, until the final part—perfection—where something small is revealed just a speck of emotion, only to be swallowed once again by the absurd. This encapsulates absurdism in its purest form, highlighting the human tendency to search for meaning even where none is offered.
