I'm reading this Book Called The Stanger (L'strange) And i have to make a brochure for it, it can be about anything, but has to summarize the book, and i don't have a clue on how to do it. So go onto this website and read the summary about and please help me.

my suggestion? read it twice.

this is my favorite book ever (and in french it's L'etrange, not L'strange). Camus is a genius. if you haven't finished it you really have to. twice.

the first time through is a serious mind-fuck. it's short enough to read twice. just do it.

now. the book is really subtle. there's a lot of ways to go, but it depends on class. If I were doing this project for European History I'd focus on french existentialism and its roots and how social stratification forced the narrator to kill the arab. but I wouldn't touch on that for an english project at all. for english I'd dig in and discuss why Camus never shows any emotion in the narrator, how you have to project yourself onto every situation and how frighteningly human you have to make yourself. you end up choosing to kill the arab. it depends on the class it's for.
