Just read this for the first time. This book is really fascinating has anyone else heard of it?
non, je seulment connais «L'Étranger». C'est le meme or non?
>>8042853
what does this mean? sorry I don't speak french
Finished it yesterday
I didn't like it.
>>8042864
faggot
>>8042877
pretty interesting though, huh?
Stop memeing you asshole
>>8042881
why are you calling me that I just want to talk about this pretty interesting book I just finished, have you checked it out?y
>>8042887
what do you mean by that?
Are you racist against sandniggers or something OP?
>>8042846
Keep on reading Camus. He's an interesting fellow.
>>8042846
Get rid of the trip.
>>8043399
why I am trying to make discussion?
I like it.
Someone I know called the protagonist a deeply disturbed man and, by the end of the book, has gone insane.
To me, the protagonist has finally seen the light by the end of the book.
>>8043479
I am inclined to agree fellow I think he only finally becomes sane at the end
One of the funnier books I've read.
>>8042846
It was okay, but the whole premise was sort of absurd.
this thread
Not sure if this thread is irony or satire.
>>8042846
How many levels are you on, anon?
>>8042864
neither does he
>>8042902
heh
>>8043783
i know, right?
>>8042846
I haven't. What is it about, op?
>>8043915
He's on so many levels of irony he's become what he's been pretending to be
>>8044077
> or instead of ou
> seulment
>the word order
> no accents on the word meme, meaning he is just meming us
I really like The Stranger by Camus, but I actually prefer his book 'The Fall'. It's basically a monologue, but it's really interesting because it's like a secular version of the fall of man.
Do recommend it.
>>8042853
ta guele, putain
>>8044600
Toi ferme ta sale putain de gueule, OK? Juste chut, tais-toi, ferme la!
>>8042846
>has anyone else heard of it?
Yes--everyone.
>>8042846
It's a decent book, I finished it in high school and was considering reading the Plague back then.
>this fucking thread
10/10, OP
>>8044792
What an absurd statement.
I'm about to reread it thanks to the chill anon in the new sincerity thread.
>>8042846
>has anyone else heard of it
No. How thick is it? I get bored after reading 80 pages XD
what the fuck has happened to this board
>>8042846
I heard of it. What did you think of it?
>>8045567
The same shit that happened to all the humanities: postmodernism
It was positively absurd.
>>8045567
/r9k/ and other miserable fat teenagers who had their taste insulted over the past couple of years
>>8045582
Same here. I was pretty on board with his behaviour and life choices right up to that. Didn't find him 'strange' or disturbing at all.
>>8042846
I thought it was a pretty good allegory of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
>>8045608
So what is the point of this thread?
>>8043945
There is always A Stranger thread, and it is either filled with pseudo-patricians who shit on Camus because he isn't obscure enough and/or people who fail to understand the book at all. He is probably wondering if the thread is satire because it's so hard to tell when people shit post about the book because it seems to be a book that drops lits IQ by 30 points anyway.
>>8045582
Merseault is completely disinterested in everyone, including his mother, and possibly even himself. The problem is I don't think he's entirely wrong.
Anyway, killing the Arab just helps push the story along to seeing how he'll respond to his own impending doom.
>>8044480
it's about a guy who i think kills his mom but others are suspicious of him and he tries to avoid getting caught
>>8044509
nope just want to have an enlightened discussion about this book that I read since all of my friends will refuse to read it
>>8044571
I will check it out, thanks anon!
>>8044792
haha just wanted your guys's opinions
>>8044903
i was considering this as well
>>8045542
haha, keep going, it gets good!
Ok, I have a fascinating question for you guys about this book, please feel free to discuss this everyone:
Ok, how do they finally figure out that the guy killed his mom? What tips them off that he did it.
Discuss.
>>8042853
oui, c'est le meme
>>8047169
I love memes xD
>>8047411
ils me appellent maître de memes
>>8047151
The Arab told them that he murdered his mom in his dying message. Reread the chapter OP.
>>8044660
. . . ça me hérisse
I completely agree with Merseault In the shooting scene. I live in Florida and the heat + sun can just fuck your shit up until you reach a breaking point
>>8048019
the heat can make you do crazy things
why do people even live where it's hotter on average than 25 in the summer and colder than -15 in the winter
holy fucking lmao this thread
I just started lurking today and what the fuck
Is this summer? Will a veteran il/lit/erate explain?
>>8042853
non, c'est pareil mais plus pauvre.
la langue des grenouilles
>>8048662
it's satire.
>>8042853
oui, c'est la meme.
>>8048019
is that why you lads have all that weird news?
>>8047136
>it's about a guy who i think kills his mom but others are suspicious of him and he tries to avoid getting caught
I watched the moive. It's a trash. Slice of life of an autistic guy. Very boring.
>>8048019
I also completely agree with Merseault In the shooting scene. I live in Europe and the North-Africans can just fuck your shit up until you reach a breaking point

>>8042846
How much of an influence Kierkegaard was on Camus?
>>8052021
Camus is like a Chad Kierkegaard without the genius.
>>8042846
>>8047151
>it's about a guy who i think kills his mom but others are suspicious of him and he tries to avoid getting caught
Wow, that's a very interesting interpretation. I never thought of it like that before. Does that mean his time at the beach was actually a flash back and the Arab was actually his mom? Never knew that this book was so deep.
>>8046209
>completely disinterested in everyone, including his mother, and possibly even himself
>tfw I know this is supposed to be wrong but I can't feel anything but vague relation to Merseault
>>8052021
I believe it is underestimated
>>8046209
Disinterested means you're not thinking about yourself. Uninterested means not interested.
I shouldn't have to post this on a literature board on the Internet.
>>8042853
Ceci n'est pas une meme
>>8052393
Well memed sir.
>>8042853
France est un mème
We read it in high school and two of my friends said i was just like Meursault
haha this thread, i'm in tears
>>8054148
Imaginary friends, probably. Fucking faggot.
>>8053343
Is this pronounced 'mehm' or the usual way in english?
>>8054927
Oui, on le prononce "mehm". Bravo, anon, tu as une connaissance extraordinaire de la prononciation de la langue de Molière !
>>8054148
How does that make you feel?
Meursault did nothing wrong.
>>8055454
He was being a good bro that's all.
>>8049772
Stranger and Punishment
TEST
>>8047216
Yes he did. The prosecutor clearly proved it.
>>8042853
fuck off pierre
>>8052021
Read the myth of sysifus.
