		The novel tells the story of Meursault, who kills an Arab in a reaction to the environment—the heat and glare of the sun.
		The novel, as well as the collection of essays, developed the concept of the absurd and the belief that a person can be happy in the face of the “absurd.”

		The novel features cultural references to the 70s mixed in with futuristic technology (which Dick was probably able to correctly extrapolate from the direction of technocratic developments occuring during his lifetime).
		The use of rotoscoping was an appropriate decision for this particular story because it deals in part with the blurring of boundries, between real and unreal, objective and subjective, as well as good and evil.
		As is the case with many PKD novels, there's lengthy conversations that, written by lesser novelists, might seem like too obvious exposition.

	Remembering Naked Came the Stranger
		Robert Wiemer, one of the 25 authors of the 'Naked Came the Stranger' literary hoax from 1969, died yesterday.
		Naked Came the Stranger was a novel that was designed to test just how low the standards of taste of the American public had sunk.
		The resulting novel was attributed to a fictitious author (Penelope Ashe), who was played by the attractive sister-in-law of Mike McGrady, the columnist who conceived the idea for the hoax.

	Albert Camus
		He was born and raised in Algeria, and his experiences as a fatherless, tubercular youth, as a young playwright and journalist in Algiers, and later in the anti-German resistance in Paris during World War II informed everything he wrote.
		Sisyphus thrives (he is even "happy") by virtue of his scorn and defiance of the gods, and by virtue of a "rebellion" that refuses to give in to despair.
		In his last work, however, a novel called The Fall published in 1956, the year before he won the Nobel prize for literature, Camus presents an unforgettably perverse character named Jean-Baptiste Clamence, who exemplifies all the bitterness and despair rejected by his previous characters and in his earlier essays.

	Maxing the Novel \| Books \| The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		Born in Strasbourg to a bourgeois (the pun of place and class is automatically exploited by the author—Strasbourgeois) Jewish family that operated a printing house, Ophuls's life is one of unprecedented opulence, global womanizing, and high adventure (during World War II he was an exceptional member of the French Resistance).
		As is the case with all preternaturally beautiful women trapped in magical realist novels, Boonyi has a monster-hunger for power and fame.
		The novel as a form can fit and reflect the realities of being in a city or nation, but it cracks into a thousand pieces when it attempts to represent a world that has too many stories, too many histories, "too much, too many people."

		In the stranger, he is isolated but that is more or less his choice until the end when he is sentenced to die, so you don't really feel like he is isolated and alienated until the end because in the beginning it's his choice to be alone.
		In the Stranger Meursault is a brilliant example of isolation because he chose to be isolated and at the end was convicted by society for not being at his mothers funeral.

	FRENCH 41 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		The French title of Albert Camus' novel The Stranger (1942) could also be translated as "The Outsider," meaning someone who simply does not relate to the standards or expectations of others in whose society he or she happens to live.
		Albert Camus’ 1942 novel The Stranger is divided into two approximately equal parts, the first describing Meursault’s life while moving freely in Franco-Algerian society up to the moment of his crime, the second describing his life while he is confined in prison awaiting judgment and execution.
		Toward the end of Albert Camus' 1942 novel The Stranger, his protagonist Meursault – in prison and awaiting execution – does achieve an unusual kind of understanding and acceptance of his situation.

		Among his most notable novels are The Plague, published in 1947, and The Fall, published in 1956.
		Though his career was cut short, he remains one of the most influential authors of the twentieth century, regarded both for the quality of his fiction and for the depth and insightfulness of his philosophy.
		When reading the novel, character development, plot, and prose style demand just as much attention as the specifics of the absurd.

		At the end of the novel, he has finally embraced the idea that death is the one inevitable fact of human life, and is able to accept the reality of his impending execution without despair.
		Throughout the novel there are instances of characters watching Meursault, or of his watching them.

		The British title of this novel is The Outsider which, although it may not be the literal translation, is an appropriate one.

	Boston.com / A&E / Books / The many sides of 'The Stranger'
		When Karyn and I first met, I was amazed at the manner in which she would read favorite books again and again.
		But literature, I warn them (contrast Sartre and Camus here), is about people, not ideas, and the novel at hand is just that, a novel, an attempt to let us inside one man's head, and by no means a primer in existentialism.
		Flannery O'Connor once remarked that theme and meaning in a story are folded deeply into the heart of the thing, that they're not like the string on a sack of feed, where you just have to pick it out, then you can rip the story open and feed the chickens.

		The novels good points are numerous: there is the amazing descriptive prose that Hill uses which really brings everything to life, there is also the awesome characterisation of the all the people in the book, and I still haven't mentioned the fantastic plot, which interweaves throughout the book, slowly revealing all in an excellent finale.
		Both strangers in a strange land, their senses of isolation, of being an outsider, are at times extreme.
		A novel wreathed in mystery and myth, soaked with secrets and history, The Stranger House is one of the most unique books of the year.

	Death of Meursault: A Continuation of The Stranger
		The novel The Stranger ends abruptly after Meursault explains the contentment he feels about his death and his wish for an angry crowd to greet him with cries of hate at his execution.
		This continuation not only adds a greater sense of completion to the novel, but also further demonstrates the lack of justice in any society which would condemn a man like Meursault to death.
		Although they would not wish it, this crowd fulfills my final inner wish by shouting their insults at me, allowing me to feel a strange sort of happy companionship with the people in the crowd as I die.

		The other stranger is Miguel 'Mig' Madero, a Spanish Catholic who once studied for the priesthood but who felt forced to leave his calling after experiencing strange visions and unexplained bleeding from the palms of his hand.
		THE STRANGER HOUSE is an ambitious project for Reginald Hill and it should be given all the time and attention.

	The Stranger, Constant Reader Discussion
		He said in court papers that he read "The Stranger" nine months before killing Tay and determined that "everything was meaningless and nothing matters because we are all going to die." The book's narrator, Meursault, shows indifference to his mother's death, kills a stranger and remains unmoved by his own impending decapitation.
		The general consensus is that the point of his novel THE PLAGUE published in 1947, a very good year--the year of my nascency into this interesting scene, was to glorify the perseverance and dignity of people striving, with very little success by the way, for the good of their fellow man.
		In a novel whose theme is pointlessness, the central act about which everything revolves, to be effective, must be the absolute epitome of pointlessness.

	The Stranger The Outsider - Free College Essays - Unemotional Meursault in The Stranger by Albert Camus
		In Albert Camus’ novel, The Stranger, the protagonist Meursault is a character who has definite values and opinions concerning the society in which he lives.
		The novel itself is an exercise in absurdity that challenges the reader to face the nagging questions concerning the meaning of human existence.
		During the funeral, and throughout the entire novel, Meursault is extremely bothered by the intense Algerian heat, and says that the “glare from the sky was unbearable.” The sun also plays and important role later in the novel, when it serves as a catalyst for Meursault’s murder.

		Meursault suddenly realizes why his boss was annoyed at his request for two days’ leave from work.

		Throughout the novel, Meursault plays this role of the detached observer.

	Thirteen Ways of Looking at 'On Beauty' \| Books \| The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		This question is one of the novel's smartest contradictions, but it isn't a question Howard ever asks himself—he's too busy wishing the women he's slept with would disappear, or forgetting them altogether: "With the miracle that is male compartmentalization he had barely thought of her." Sometimes he has to remind himself that women aren't concepts.
		It's a novel about American social politics and the stage for the debate—with Howard on one side and his conservative rival on the other—is Wellington.
		Both novels rely on a series of coincidences, and although the end of On Beauty is better, you can still see the strings and the stage management.

		The conflict between the desire to live and the fact of death is a dominant theme in The Stranger.
		The Stranger, they argue, is the unfolding of one person's way of viewing his surroundings, more than a study in relationships between people.
		The Stranger was published early in Camus's career, in 1942, when he was primarily concerned with what he called the "absurdity" of the human condition.
