- Latest Review: The Narrow Gate by John Servant
“Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday; I can't be sure.”
Camus killed me by this book.
Before reading this one, I read The Fall and The Plague. I loved both and enjoyed them. But The Stranger? It killed me and messed up with my life. The book is the epitome of existentialism bordering on nihilism. After this one, I never read anything else by Camus... it scares me to go back to that place again.

camus' writing style is sparse and straightforward, reflecting the personality of meursault. the reader is given a glimpse into meursault's inner thoughts and emotions, but he remains an enigmatic character throughout the novel. the descriptions of the algerian landscape and culture are vivid and add depth to the story.
the novel raises important questions about the nature of morality and the justice system. meursault's lack of remorse and emotion is seen as a sign of guilt by the court, highlighting the subjective nature of justice. the absurdity of life is also explored through meursault's indifference to his own fate and the meaningless rituals that surround death.
overall, "the stranger" is a thought-provoking novel that challenges the reader's beliefs about the nature of existence and the meaning of
