RE: A review of The Stranger (L'etranger) by Albert Camus
Dear Vic, as I told you I already had this book under my radar and surely after reading your review, it gained some positions up in the ranking. I appreciated your historical contextualization and the fact that you had the sensitiveness to try and not spoil the plot (although I, unfortunately, read the word murder!). First or after we all have to face the absurd in life. It's only up to us to embrace it and be part of it or, otherwise, feel like strangers immersed in the flowing of this short flash called life. Thanks for your review and keep it up always.
Moving on before I break down in tears that you finally commented for the first time in forever ;-; I loved that you loved those aspects of this post <3 Also agree on the Absurd part, but with my Stoic sympathies do I really care less or not even at all about it since it is not within my control; thus I find it cute when people say that Life lacks "uppercase M" Meaning, because then I can just shrug up to them and say: "but does that mean we have to take Life any less seriously or that we can never develop our own?" Always trips them up, a fun sport of mine which is comparable to a "spontaneous" scene before chapter six with the main character and their ("their" qua not-gendered pronoun) acquaintance doing something just because they can. Otherwise, agree with the summation of the consequences of the accepting and rejecting the Absurd. Anywho, thanks again for leaving a comment here and hope to see yah in more of my posts~
