'One of those books that marks a reader's life indelibly'William Boyd'A compelling,dreamlike fable'GuardianIn The Outsider,Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault,his anti-hero,will not lie. When his mother dies,he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers,his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal.
