/lit/ - Literature

lol.

that's what i'd be like trying to read it in french.

How strange.

Anybody else want Dunia, Raskolnikov's sister?

Dark, beautiful, long brown hair. Keeps her yapper shut; smart as 20 whips. Mmm.
I bet she could yank it off.

French is the only acceptable way to read Camus.

>implying your french is better than joseph laredo's

The Stranger was disappointing

>Implying that's what I said.
It's still better reading it in it's own vernacular.

She is the only acceptable /lit/ waifu.

>>1561515
whoah yeah I'd lock her in a room with me, get shot in the side of the head and pussy out of raping her if you know what I mean

but catcher is better than nausea.....

Your PNG was disappointing.

So much for creativity, /lit/.

not if you cant think in french and havent read much else in the language either.

but i guess the native language is intrinsically superior like paper books to any other medium.

You'd think such a concise writer like Camus wouldn't be so difficult to translate.

Mom/maman makes a huge difference imo.

ugh. at least keep it european.

Whoever made this is a fucking retard and/or a troll. Meursault is such a vastly different character than Holden, there's no basis for comparison just by that alone.

>I wanted her so bad when I saw her in that pretty red-and-white striped dress and leather sandals.

I'm confused. What point is the OP making? I read the Mathew Ward translation as well

I don't get it. I read the Stranger and I don't know what translation.
