The Outsider

The first manga adaptation of one of the world's greatest twentieth-century fiction classics 'My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.' An outsider in society, an outsider in his own life, Meursault seems indifferent to everything. The death of his mother, a marriage proposal, the brutality of a friend... even the random act of violence he commits on a sun-drenched beach. An act which lands him in the dock, waiting for judgement. Adapted by the Japanese artist Ryota Kurumado, this is the first ever manga version of Albert Camus's masterpiece: the portrayal of a man confronting the absurdity of human life.
