What does one say about The Stranger that hasn‘t already been said? On the surface it doesn‘t seem like much. Indeed it is the type of book that requires the skill of not reading what you‘re reading-and I‘m bad at that. Honestly, I think if it weren‘t for The Stranger‘s reputation, I would‘ve been disappointed. But there is sort of this mysterious attraction, an almost mythic quality, which I know will cause (as it has many others) my return.
