Book Discussion – Classic Book Club Wednesday, September 8 at 7 p.m. in-house at the library. The book being discussed is: “The Stranger” by Albert Camus.

Several weeks after his mother’s funeral, he kills an Arab man in French Algiers, who was involved in a conflict with one of Meursault’s neighbors. Meursault is tried and sentenced to death. The story is divided into two parts, presenting Meursault’s first-person narrative view before and after the murder, respectively.
