Published in 1942 by French author Albert Camus, The Stranger has long been considered a classic of twentieth-century literature. Le Monde ranks it as number one on its "100 Books of the Century" list. Through this story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on a sundrenched Algerian beach, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd."

    And the crowd is…confused?? Is this book following the ramblings of a mentally unstable man or is there just a lot of nuance lost in translation from French to English? Or perhaps both? I’m so uncomfortable reading this book because of how dangerous every man seems but maybe that’s the point? I knew nothing about this book going into it haha
