This book was categorized under the genre thriller and it happened to be under 200 pages, so I immediately started reading the book. But this is more of a drama, a character study of Mersault. The events that transpired after the death of his mother, and after he took another mans life. I did some research. There is definitely a theme of existentialism evident in the novel, more specifically found in the latter half. It’s amazing that we can find peace and solace in the darkness of times, even if that feeling is misguided. I liked the unflinching depiction of prison life, and what it does to someone. Smarter and more intelligent people have discussed the sheer depth of the book, but I found myself enjoying this quite throughly.
