The both intertwine Absurdism with the concept of suicide. The Myth of Sisyphus is a philosophical essay that poses and answers a pretty specific question asked by Camus: Should the fact that life is meaningless be addressed by committing suicide? The Stranger isn't quite so blunt and to the point as it's a short novel, and also my favorite work of his. The same concept and question posed in The Myth of Sisyphus is posed here, but to a much lesser degree. This novel attempts to explore the absurdity of living as opposed to delving into suicide.
