NOTE: It's recommended to read The Myth of Sisyphus before diving into this book. Though it may appear as a straightforward book - a man kills another man - towards the end all the philosophical baggage may overwhelm you, as it did for me. If you already have a strong understanding of Absurdism, then go ahead and dive into this dark yet profound world Camus has created.
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Death of parent, and Murder
Moderate: Toxic relationship and Toxic friendship
