What's the point of this book?

It's okay to act autistic during a funeral and then murder someone because life is meaningless, man.

It shows to what extent morality is a arbitrary and a construct.
In the ilght of post-modernism, it isn't as ground-breaking as it was back in the day (of modernism).
It's well-written enough that you can enjoy it without foregrounding the philosophy though.

Oh yeah, and I also forgot about the time he helps an abusive husband, because who cares if a woman gets beat up! Life's meaningless!
Colin Wilson > Albert Camus

This one's a bad translation. Reread the one titled "The Stranger"

Camus, Albert. Dislike him. Second-rate, ephemeral, puffed-up. A nonentity, means absolutely nothing to me. Awful.

That's what I thought too, judging the translation by its title. But read them both and you'll see the difference.
