Professor keeps calling The Stranger an existentialist novel

>professor keeps calling The Stranger an existentialist novel

It is, you fuck.

It literally isn't
Source: fucking Camus himself

The Stranger is just a racist novel. That's it.

>Shoot Arab for no reason except that you're a colonial oppressor
>Don't even give him a name
>lulz
>Get arrested
>Oh yeah mom died
>Oh well I killed a dumb Arab xDDDDDDD


Literally /pol/ the novel

When I finished The Stranger my only thought was "jesus i got memed hard, this book is total shit"

Most of what Veeky Forums or "intellectuals" like is total shit

Arabs deserve it, only marginally worse than T*rks

What did I just tell you?

Literally /pol/ the novel

Wow an author doesn't want to align himself with a label, stop the fucking presses

>caring about what an author think about his own work

Are you a creation of the american public school system?

It's not worth making a whole thread about it so I'll ask here: Would my enjoyment of The Stranger be increased by reading The Postman Always Rings Twice first?

I belive Mersault had a good reason to shoot the arab.

He didn't you brute, that's the whole point of the novella.
Had I known this webpage would be full of neanderthals like you, sir, then I would never have accepted a Veeky Forums golden pass

Every reason to shoot an Arab is a good reason.

>going the complete opposite direction and ignoring what an author says about their book

undergraduates gonna undergraduate

>reading this babby-tier lit in college xD

>"I felt a lot of empathy with Mersault, despite his despicable character. I was a "party boy" myself as a young man, drifting without direction, drinking too much, using reefer as they called ti back then, before I grew up." -George W. Bush

What did he mean by this?

So nice to see fellow redpillers on Veeky Forums.

Pepe approves!

>later kills literally billions of arabs
poetry

>Lame elitists gonna be insufferable faggots

this is not good shitposting

High art has moved to the realm of reality

It's essentially a critique of existentialism, so I guess in that way it's existentialist?

>someone states a fact

>when a fact starts hurting your feelings so you must deny it

Even if you're not a racist, that nigga did brandish a knife and was intent on fucking up Meursalt

>it's a One-Whine Greentext episode
