I got talking to my French teacher at Open Evening the other day. I had written a quote in French by Sartre on the board as examples of what languages you learna t newman bla bla. We got to talking about Camus. I said that I couldn't afford a copy of the Outsider, and the Library didn't have it. So Stuart goes, Oh, I've got loads, you cn have one! I think yipee!
Lucky me now has a copy of L'etranger. Fully in French.
Its bloody hard enough to read in English!
But I'm getting through it. I neeed a better french dictionary though.
i know how you feel: we started it at school in the 4th form, then abandoned it, but i kept my copy and made abortive attempts to read it in french for a couple of years or so, painfully slowly, before finally giving up and reading it in english: then, a few years later, doing the tragedy paper as an undergraduate, did a whole load of camus (plague / rebel / sisyphus). wonderful. the fall is superb as well. b&s content: nil level of general interest: pretty much the same as above cheerio, alastair
