I've read "The Stranger" for the first time.
It was written in 1942 in French. Old novels are usually a bit more boring than contemporary novels but not in this case.
I'm rather surprised that I could enjoy reading it that much.
I happened to know this novel from the Japanese animation film, "The Sky Crawlers". In the film, the female boss says to the main character, "I expected you'd get here later", and he says, "Because the sun was glaring". Then she says, "Camus".
At that time, I couldn't hear what she says because I didn't expect her to say someone's name. Then I googled, and I found out what she said. I already knew the title, "The Stranger". I knew the title from the must-read novels list of the literal professors study guide. That's the story on why I decided to read this book.
I won't write about the story of the book. I hate spoilers.
I can tell you the brief story line. This is the story about a man. You might think he's so strange or you might think he's not strange at all. I want to hear what you think.
If you haven't read this and think it is boring without reading, I suggest you read it once.
I couldn't understand the entire book. I'd like to read it again in the future and I look forward how do I feel at that time.
