Summary

Albert Camus: The Stranger

A long time ago, I summarized The Stranger with a sentence that I know is paradoxical: In our society, any man who does not cry at his mother's funeral runs the risk of being sentenced to death. I just wanted to say that the hero of that book is condemned because he does not agree to participate in the game. In this sense, he is a stranger in the society in which he lives, he wanders on the sidelines, on the periphery of his private, solitary and sensual life. And that's why readers are tempted to think of him as a lost wretch. However, the idea of that character would be more accurate, that is, it would be closer to what the author wanted, if the reader asked himself what kind of game Meursault does not want to participate in. The answer is simple: He does not want to lie. Lying doesn't just mean saying something that isn't true. This means, even more, to say more than it is and, at least as far as the human heart is concerned, to say more than one feels. And that's what we all do, every day, to simplify our lives... (from the author's foreword to the American edition of Stranc).
