I just want to be sure: to whom does the title refer. Meursault?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 15 18:49:39 2011 No.1458403 Meursault, but clearly more in an "outsider" meaning than a "stranger". Bad translation.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 15 18:55:39 2011 No.1458413 >>1458403 "Outsider" and even "foreigner" are more accurate than "stranger, but they're extremely awkward compared to the original title.
