The Meursault Investigation Author: Kamel Daoud

ISBN: 9781780748399 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 224 Published: 1 September 2015 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.7 x 13.4 x 1.6 Description: He was the brother of 'the Arab' killed by the infamous Meursault, the antihero of Camus's classic novel. Angry at the world and his own unending solitude, he resolves to bring his brother out of obscurity by giving him a name - Musa - and a voice, and by describing the events that led to his senseless murder on a dazzling Algerian beach. A worthy complement to its great predecessor, The Meursault Investigation is not only a profound meditation on Arab identity and the disastrous effects of colonialism in Algeria, but also a stunning work of literature in its own right, told in a unique and affecting voice.
