Literary Influences I

I found it. I truly did.
L'Étranger. A novel by Albert Camus. I don't know what it's about. I had been looking for it, though. I read the blurb on the back when I found it. I've already put it out of mind. An act of violence. All I remember, that I had known previous, is that it revolves around the protagonist doing that, making the choice to. I can't help but be in touch with this theme. An act of violence. I like to say my favourite book, thematically, is Crime and Punishment. I like to say that. Then I heard of the plot of Camus' novel here. I knew I couldn't write until I'd absorbed this Camus. I'm trying to avoid stepping on anybody's toes. I know that's an impossible task, but I can at least avoid the masters. So many books to read.

All this time I had been looking The Stranger until today when Penguin offers me The Outsider.
Here's one step closer to settling down and writing. Now I just have to read it.
