The stranger / Albert Camus ; translated from the French by Matthew Ward ; with an introduction by Peter Dunwoodie.
When a young Algerian named Meursault kills a man, his subsequent imprisonment and trial are puzzling and absurd. The apparently amoral Meursault--who puts little stock in ideas like love and God--seems to be on trial less for his murderous actions, and more for what the authorities believe is his deficient character.
