Way back a radio anchor was berating ‘ignorant’ people offended by The Cure’s Killing an Arab. R. Smith was just citing Camus’ Stranger, she exclaimed. Well, Smith may not be racist, but Camus seems so. Daoud responds to his existentialist arrogance with a text Camus’d appreciate. Nothing post-colonial here. The narrator is the mirror image of Meursault. Just as much a critique as a tribute to The Stranger!
