The Stranger - Albert Camus | CLASSIC BOOK REVIEW

(Genre: LITERARY FICTION; POSTMODERN. Year published: 1942. Translated from French by Stuart Gilbert.) My first French classic is the short postmodern novel about a blank slate of a man running afoul of normative society, and his existential response to that. Pretty good, despite being a pretty transparent vessel for Albert Camus' absurdist/existentialist philosophy! A recommend, especially since it's so short. Next time I try a classic French novel, it'll probably be something more conventional like a book by Victor Hugo or Emile Zola. :D ========================= My Goodreads:   / curtis
