![]() This charming guy shoots and kills a man, Johnny Cash-style, just to watch him die.īut this ain't just a feel-bad book about a cold-blooded seaside murder. The Stranger-or L'Étranger, if you want to be all authentically French about it (pro-tip: lose the beret and the baguette)-is an absurdist novel about a bonafide weirdo named Meursault. Okay-try this absurd tidbit on for size: a man loses his mom, murders a dude on a beach, and is sentenced to death. What's the first thing you think of when we say the word "absurd"? A baby rhino trying to act like a baby goat? Fashion week? Maybe an eleven minute long homage to 80's sitcoms starring a bearded psychopath? Or how about a platypus (have you ever really looked at one)? ![]() Want more deets?
