Interesting viewpoint to see Camus’ The Stranger from the brother of the murdered “arab”. The story doesn’t just cling to this event but goes further, encompassing liberty and racism.
   The storyteller is untrustworthy in a good sense, but the storytelling with lots of comments towards the fictional listeners and overly unruly monologues makes it a bit too pretentious.
