RE: The Stranger

I would like to say though, that the reason why I said its boring is probably due to a bias that I have with how simplistic the writing is, as well as me getting lost at the internet encyclopedia of philosophy to read other works and what not that my standards have considerably changed. So I think this work of his is but a representation of his concept of Absurdism, which he delved deeper with in his work "The Myth of Sisyphus". Which is an essay, that I find questionable but has its points.

Which leads me to say that I'd recommend you to either read this story first to understand more about the concept in a practical manner, or read the aforementioned essay of his to fully grasp this novel(in which I didn't do, instead watched a video essay of the topic).

So go for it! anyways thamks for commenting!
