The Stranger has a rather simple plot and reads almost like a last testament in first person prose. In a little over hundred pages, we follow Meursault, a pied-noir in Algeria through the loss of his mother, his adventures in love and friendship, and a strange criminal trial in which  he finds himself implicated. Known more for its commentary on society and as a prime example of absurdist fiction, Camus’ The Stranger has been integrated into the reading curriculum throughout the world and remains a novel that many hate to love.
