Couldn't remember if I read this in one of my undergrad philosophy classes. I hadn't, but now I can say that I have. I'm sure so many people have written about how ~problematic~ this book is, so I won't repeat them. It felt to me like this book conflates existentialism with treating people as dispos...

Gloomy!It's the darkest kind of Outsiders I've ever read about. I won't argue whether Meursault - the protagonist - have a soul or not, but I'm sure that he sees the world differently and feels differently. His perspective is summarized in the following lines:“I have never been able really to regret...

Reinforces the statement 'What matters is not how you start, but how you finish'. The perfect epitome of a captivating and thought provoking ending.In the first half I was feeling a bit detached from the story and the characters, but in the second half it was inevitable that I lost myself completely...
