And his callous disregard for everything. He’s just a dumb animal. I don’t think any of the characters weren’t.
Well his mother’s old friend showed the most humanity. Been many years since I read it.

I've been looking for the name and author of this story for a long time now. One of my high school teachers read this to our class during our Dutch lessons. Therefore I assumed it was a Dutch writer. The story stuck with me, but since I only remembered the general premise of the story I wasn't able to find out who the writer was. Neat to finally know it now!

Literally yes. I used to live in the hood and motherfuckers would kill each other in greater numbers during the summer just because the heat made them crazy.

Trashcan book. I power-seethe knowing that I was memed into reading this pile of shit by non-white pseud chart makers. Fuck your charts I'll never fall for that shit again.

You can't understand "The Stranger" unless you read it on the Mediterranean coastline at the peak of Summer. (Roughly this time of year, in fact.)
Seriously, just get to Nice as quickly as you can, and you'll understand everything.

I read the book outside in the hot summer. A surreal experience. At first I thought the book was stupid but for some reason it really sticks with me. Sorry for pic rel, but it is topical.
