Reply to comment by TheFiniteThrowAway in I'm too stupid to understand/analyze "The Stranger" by Camus by baratoyoso

How so? It's a book about someone who doesn't fit in because he doesn't follow the societal norms. Because he doesn't fit in, they assume he's an outsider and treat him with contempt.

Well, to be specific I don't believe absurdism is as much of a hot topic as it used to be. The book is fine, I'm just saying that it isn't a "must read", in my opinion.

Like, just throwing it out there - I think that Of Mice and Men is a better read. Personal opinion.
