The Stranger

The narrative begins with the famous, detached announcement of the protagonist Meursault’s mother’s death and follows his journey to her funeral at an aged care facility. Rather than displaying typical grief, Meursault exhibits an emotional indifference to the ceremony and the mourning rituals of those around him. Upon returning to Algiers, he immediately resumes his life by starting a romantic entanglement with a woman named Marie and going to see a comedy film. The included Translator’s Note explains the specific stylistic choices made to preserve the author’s original, sparse "American" writing method. Ultimately, the source highlights the protagonist's alienation from societal expectations of emotion and the philosophical absurdity of his everyday existence.
