I read that Camus is the guy behind absurdism. Is he the one who invented this philosophy. I'm trying to mainly figure out his contribuation to French and other country's literature. Would you also say he is directly and indirectly behind other absurdism works after him?

How else did Albert Camus and his novel, The Stranger, impact literature?

As a former (and rather excellent) liar herself, Aru knew that, sometimes, speaking the truth felt like wrenching a thorn out of your side. But doing the opposite meant pretending it wasn't there. And that made every single step ache. It was no way to live.
