While I'm not entirely sure I understood the philosophy of this book, I did find it interesting and engaging to divulge into Meursault's apathetic perspective. The short, bold sentences were easy to follow, creating a quick pace for the book as Meursault headed towards doom. I don't have much else to say about the book right now. I enjoyed the absurdity of it, and how Meursault's distance from human emotions both repulsed me and made sense. I would definitely like to read it again academically if I have the opportunity, and my only real grievance with it is how the characters' racism and misogyny seem almost accepted within the narrative.
