Quotes About Meursault

There are two people in the waiting room. One is an extremely thin old man, a retired teacher of French who still gives tuition by correspondence, and who whilst waiting his turn is correcting a pile of scripts with a pencil sharpened to a fine point. On the script he is about to examine, the essay title can be read: In Hell, Raskolnikov meets Meursault ("The Outsider"). Imagine a dialogue between them using material from both novels.
~ Georges Perec

~ Scott C. Holstad

~ Bret Easton Ellis
The wine seems to be very closed-in and seems to have entered a dumb stage. Sort of a Marcel Meursault.
