There are a couple of passages in here that I think are references to The Stranger, but I'm not quite sure. Overall, this book is about coming to terms with the fact that there is no God, and that we are meaningless bits of matter who need to think that we have a purpose in order to be happy. Camus seems to think that love between people is the only thing people can somewhat control that can make them happy. I'm drop-dead tired as I write this, so I'm not going to bother trying to write an intelligent review.
