“J’ai écrit ces impressions sur Pascal Pia peu à peu, chaque fois que je m’interrogeais sur son personnage et sur ce qu’il représente pour moi. Je n’avais pas l’intention de les publier. D’ailleurs, j’ai conscience de n’avoir pas dit le dernier mot. Et comment trouver le dernier mot, avec Pia ? De son côté, il avait interdit que l’on parlât de lui après sa mort.

Summary : "J'ai écrit ces impressions sur Pascal Pia peu à peu, chaque fois que je m'interrogeais sur son personnage et sur ce qu'il représente pour moi. Je n'avais pas l'intention de les publier. D'ailleurs, j'ai conscience de n'avoir pas dit le dernier mot. Et comment trouver le dernier mot, avec Pia ? De son côté, il avait interdit que l'on parlât de lui après sa mort. Mais, aujourd'hui, plus d'un signe laisse à penser qu'un mythe est en train de se former. Si l'on ne veut pas que l'homme soit tout à fait enseveli sous la légende, ou qu'un industrieux de la biographie s'en empare, ceux qui l'ont connu doivent dire le peu qu'ils savent. Je ne l'ai pas fait sans un sentiment de culpabilité, ne pouvant m'empêcher de me demander si, comme il le pensait, à l'histrionisme de la parole et de l'écrit, il ne vaudrait pas mieux préférer le silence."

Author : Alice Kaplan
Genre : Literary Criticism
Summary : A New York Times Notable Book. A literary exploration that is “surely destined to become the quintessential companion to Camus’s most enduring novel” (PopMatters). The Stranger is a rite of passage for readers around the world. Since its publication in France in 1942, Camus’s novel has been translated into sixty languages and sold more than six million copies. It’s the rare novel that’s as likely to be found in a teen’s backpack as in a graduate philosophy seminar. If the twentieth century produced a novel that could be called ubiquitous, The Stranger is it. How did a young man in his twenties who had never written a novel turn out a masterpiece that still grips readers more than seventy years later? With Looking for The Stranger, Alice Kaplan tells that story. In the process, she reveals Camus’ achievement to have been even more impressive—and more unlikely—than even his most devoted readers knew. “To this new project, Kaplan brings equally honed skills as a historian, literary critic, and biographer . . . Reading The Stranger is a bracing but somewhat bloodless experience. Ms. Kaplan has hung warm flesh on its steely bones.” —The New York Times “For American readers, few French novels are better known, and few scholars are better qualified than Kaplan to reintroduce us to it . . . Kaplan tells this story with great verve and insight, all the while preserving the mystery of its creation and elusiveness of its meaning.” —Los Angeles Review of Books “The fascinating story behind Albert Camus’ coldblooded masterpiece . . . A compelling companion to a novel that has stayed strange.” —Kirkus Reviews
