HaikuPrajnaAbsurd man, doing/ absurd things, without motive./ A man without cause.("L'Etranger")
Hello goodreaders,
Currently focusing on getting the Next Big Novel Idea to a point where I can share some stuff. Also been editing "Spear-thrower", which is where these HaikuPrajna poems are going to end up.
Today's Goodreads #MyYearInBooks review is on Albert Camus's "The Stranger". The plot follows Meursault, a man whose mother has just passed, and who lives his life without meaning or cause due to his emotional disconnection with the outside world. The other characters take his demeanor of indifference as a sign of malintent, which ultimately leads to his execution, but Meursault comes to accept the absurd universe in a final fit of rage that causes him to realize the meaninglessness of human freedom and responsibility.
