Killing an Arab thread

L’Etranger is an iconic, wonderful novel, both uplifting and empty at the same time. Being so short it is certainly, page by page, the best novel I have read and made me think more about the true meaning of life than most things I have read.

Never was that keen on The Cure, but it’s a pretty good song and it does capture the alienation the main character feels.

The wisdom of the post? Someone is bound to think that the title refers to a dodgy political or racist view. They can pick up the book and read it. Alternatively they can look into Camus’ political activities, in particular his opposition to the inequalities between Algerians of European and African descent.

Apologies for getting all rambly and intellectual, but thanks for making me listen to some old music, pull out some old books, do some googling and think about what’s important.

Should you have – gawd yes. Cheers mate.
