Product Description

Patrick McCarthy places The Stranger in the context of a French and French-Algerian history and culture, examines the way the work undermines traditional concepts of fiction, and explores the parallels (and more importantly the contrasts) between Camus and Sartre. His account provides a useful companion to The Stranger for students and general readers.

Customer Reviews

Classic
A classic book by French standards - not sure what a previous reviewer means by American standards. Specific nationality is not the point here - Mersault could just have well been sentenced to death in the name of the American people as opposed to the French. In fact, these days perhaps the former is more relevant.

Not what I expected
I was expecting the actual book, not the academic notes of the book. I don't think this was mentioned in the book description which seems very disingenuous.
