With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, The Stranger—Albert Camus's masterpiece published in 1946—tells the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach.
Behind the subterfuge, 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.
The discussion will be led in English, though every participant is welcome to read the French version of the book.
