Den Fremmede by Albert Camus
A detached young man moves through life with emotional indifference—unmoved by his mother’s death, engaged in a casual relationship, and ultimately committing a seemingly impulsive killing on a beach—and when he is put on trial the proceedings focus less on the facts of the crime than on his character and perceived lack of feeling; the narrative examines alienation, the absurdity of existence, and society’s impulse to demand meaning and moral conformity.
