This is the first Albert Camus book I’ve ever read so I’m unfamiliar with his philosophy. I think that this stopped me from understanding the nuance in this book.
I enjoyed the general dreamlike vibe of the book, and found the second half with the trial particularly compelling, especially his outburst at the end.
I think I’ll have to reread this if I read more of Camus’s work.
