![]() How an individual is put to trial not for the murder he commits but for being who he is, a nonconformist to the prevailing social mores and niceties.įinally, I picked up a book in a completely different – a new – genre for me, absurdist fiction. A perfect window to how everything is twisted inside the courts, by both the parties, to achieve their respective ends. Part Two begins with – what else – but a trial, and some religious talk to the point of the protagonist being called an embodiment of antichrist. And that is where Part One ends – with murder – at the hands of Meursault. His life revolves around himself, his job, his girlfriend, his neighbours, their friends, their dogs, etc. Set in Algiers, the book tells the story of Meursault, a man whose life seems to go by as normally as can be after the death of his mother. ![]() No one – no one – had the right to cry over her.ĭate of Publication (of Translation): 31 October 2013 (also known as The Stranger and originally published in French as L’Étranger) ![]()
