>dude, nothing matters

why is this book so acclaimed again? It seems to me like a poor version of crime and punishment

Must've to do something regarding the context and culture of the time, I guess. Being an absurd and indifferent person seem more affordable and worthwhile when compared to a full blow degenerate nihilist

Crime and Punishment is a boring, pretentious story that stretches for several hundred pages. It suffers from the 19th century Russian literary disease.

The Stranger is short, concise, to the point, and full of subtle symbolism.

why is it so hard to imagine a man that jaded with everyday life that he becomes completely disconnected from himself and society? Mersault is like the embodiment of depression and definitely not a role model.

If you're as good looking or stylish as Albert Camus, people will laud any mid-tier crap you put out. For a time.
Teenagers will love you forever.

My mom is a diagnosed schizo. I barely have a relationship with her and I probably won't be that sad when she dies. For this reason, I thought The Stranger was a shitty book.
