Alice Kaplan provides a meticulous investigation into the genesis and enduring legacy of Albert Camus’s seminal 1942 novel, L'Étranger. By tracing the historical context of French Algeria and the author’s personal experiences, the narrative illuminates how a singular work of fiction became a cornerstone of twentieth-century existential thought. This scholarly account bridges the gap between literary biography and cultural history, offering a definitive look at the life of a modern classic.
