Description
The Meursault Investigation
Author: Kamel Daoud
Soft cover, excellent condition
The Meursault Investigation by Kamel Daoud is a literary response to Albert Camus’ The Stranger, retelling the story from the perspective of the murdered Arab’s brother. Set in post-colonial Algeria, the novel gives a voice to the nameless victim, revealing his identity as Musa and exploring the lingering effects of his death on his family. Through the protagonist, Harun, Daoud critiques colonial narratives, existentialism, and the silence imposed on native Algerians in French literature. Blending personal grief with political reflection, the novel serves as both a counter-narrative to Camus and a meditation on identity, history, and the lasting wounds of colonialism.
