This playlist follows the novel’s movement from Algiers’ bright, bodily immediacy to the beach’s fatal glare and the courtroom’s insistence on moral explanation. French and North African musical colors sit alongside spare piano, jazz, and songs of estrangement, while the vocal half reflects Meursault’s uneasy ties to Marie, Raymond, and the society judging him.
