Description
With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, Camus's masterpiece gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach. Behind the intrigue, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life.

I mean its good, but predictable, finished it in one sitting and yeah story's great

I am a little taken aback by the book. I had heard before that Camus is a writer for sharper minds, but now that I’ve finished it, I’m only left feeling disappointed by how simple his sentences are and how monotonous the writing feels. It seems more like a book meant to be experienced in performance-reading rather than a true piece of literary heritage that every serious reader must go through, as opposed to someone who only sticks to romcoms or romantic fantasy.
