The Stranger (Postoronniy)

'The Outsider' is the young writer's debut work, a creative manifesto of sorts. The concept of absolute freedom is its core tenet. The hero of this story is on trial for a murder he committed for the most idiotic of all possible reasons. And this is the truth he is unafraid to confront his judges with, to defy all odds, to abandon all conventions, and to die in the name of his convictions.
