The Stranger by Albert Camus
Episode 13
Sunday, 26 April, 2026

Join Dr. Barbara Tucker as she discusses The Stranger by Albert Camus.Meursault, a detached French Algerian, attends his mother’s funeral with striking indifference. Shortly after, he begins an affair with Marie and befriends Raymond, a local pimp. While on a beach trip, Meursault—disoriented by the intense heat and sun—inexplicably shoots an Arab man.During his trial, the prosecution focuses more on Meursault's lack of emotional remorse and failure to weep at his mother’s funeral than the murder itself. Deemed a "moral monster" for refusing to play by society’s rules, he is sentenced to death. He ultimately finds peace by embracing the "gentle indifference" of a meaningless universe.
