The Fall- Albert Camus
A series of dramatic monologues told through the mouth of a “judge-penitent,” as he confesses his life to a total stranger. He tells of his success as a wealthy and well-respected Parisian lawyer to his ultimate fall from grace through living the life of a libertine.
Through the amazing narrative structure Camus places the reader as the witness, forcing us to examine our own lives and the inevitable guilt of all men.
