Read my first Albert Camus book

[Leaf]

Matthew Ward did the translation of The Stranger. It was one I read through, beginning to end.



The outcome didn't suprise me given the ways of the main character - but the end was strong enough to blow me away. Very impressive!

The Cure song, "Killing an Arab" is based on that book.

Oh thats awesome to know! Bits of info like that are always pretty cool.

I know REM's "What's the frequency, Kenneth" comes from an attack on Dan Rather...

Now I'm off to look up the song you've mentioned. TY!

I read that book a long time ago, mostly because I really loved The Cure!
It was so long ago, I don't really remember it. Maybe I should read it again.
