One of my favorite Albert Camus quotes is
“A novel is never anything, but a philosophy put into images.”
The Stranger may be the most famous & best short novel ever written.
However, because many of us have read The Stranger, I want to shake things up with this club and focus on the novel from a writer's perspective.
We will talk about how the novel functions as a Machine of Desire
and elements such as
Concrete desire
Significant history
Language overlay
