'What-It's-Like' for the Other: Narrative Knowledge and Faith in The Meursault Investigation
In this article I argue that Kamel Daoud's novel, The Meursault Investigation, demonstrates the power of narrative praxis when it comes to constructing and comprehending our notions of the self and other. This novel is in many ways a response to Albert Camus' The Outsider, as it is situate...

| 520 | |a In this article I argue that Kamel Daoud's novel, The Meursault Investigation, demonstrates the power of narrative praxis when it comes to constructing and comprehending our notions of the self and other. This novel is in many ways a response to Albert Camus' The Outsider, as it is situated in the fictional world of Camus' own novel, and it holds Meursault, and French-Algeria more generally, accountable for their actions. Whilst Daoud's postcolonial critique of The Outsider is an important element of the novel, I suggest that there is an ethical venture at play here which has yet to be given credit: Daoud's novel investigates the ambiguous position of those that dwell on the borders between cultures, thereby demonstrating the necessity of learning to empathise with those we might otherwise consider our enemy. | ||
