The Outsider is a clear question mark, it's like a knife
that cuts right through the the bullshit of
of our times.
What are you as a human being, what are
you as an individual, who are you? Are you what the
world tells you should be? Can you
determine your own reality? Are you free?
I couldn't begin to say what The Outsider is about
it's a great work of literature,
but to take a risk and to talk about it
in this particular time I would say it's
about the unreality of individual life
in society, the falseness of the
construct of the self in society,
what it is to be alive when we've lost our
moorings. It is about the danger of
individual and collective emptiness.
We're living in a time when there's alot of pressure on the individual,
there's a lot of peer pressure,
a lot of cultural pressure, media pressure, a
lot of internet pressure
Twitter pressure. The individual
doesn't know where to turn, who to trust.
The Outsider is just perfect in a space
like this, it just sits well in it.
The walls are bare
Camus asks questions about who you are,
asks questions about
society,
asks questions about the pressures put on you,
the demands made on
you.
Do you stand alone in this world
or are you part of a collective? Can the
individual live without belief?
The more people that see it the clearer a lot
of people's heads will be.
Actually it's the medicine we need.
