A review by john_quixote
The Stranger by Albert Camus

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

After reading and loving The Myth of Sysiphus I wanted to see what else Camus wrote. This was disappointing to me. Maybe the translation I read wasn't true to the original or something. I needed it to be more up front with what is was trying to say. Nihilism sucks, and yet the universe continues to be indifferent. Yeah sure, but give me more than that to work with.
