The Canterbury Book Club is back, and this time we’ll be reading The Stranger by Albert Camus! Originally published in 1942, the story would eventually become considered part of the canon of existentialist literature (although in a series of interviews with Philip Thody, Camus rejected that label and considered his philosophy more closely aligned with absurdism).

The story centers around the character Meursault and his underlying alienation from the society which surrounds him, an alienation which society easily overlooked until he found himself at the center of two jarring events.

The book club is open to all who are interested, whether you’ve participated in past ones or not. If you are interested and would like to order a copy of the book, please send us a message or give us a call by the afternoon of this Friday, February 18th. The first discussion the book will probably take place the first week of March. Hope all is well with you all!
