Synopsis
The Outsider is an enduring classic of existential writing by Albert Camus
'Mother died today.
Or maybe yesterday, I don't know'
Meursault is different. He will not lie. He will not pretend.
He is true to himself.
So when his mother dies and he is unmoved, he refuses to do the proper thing and grieve. Returning to Algiers after the funeral, he carries on life as usual until he becomes involved in a violent murder.
In court, it is clear that Meursault's guilt or innocence will not be determined by what he did or did not do.
He is on trial for being different - an outsider.
'The story of a beach murder, one of the century's classic novels. Blood and sand' J.G. Ballard
'A compelling, dreamlike fable' Guardian

Review
Smith's new version ... treats Camus' text with respect, directness and an unexpected delicateness. She reveals, and permits, an original edgy strangeness in the prose itself; she treats it sensually, listening to Camus' original sentence structures and lengths, and to the rhythmic fall of his prose (Ali Smith The Times)
