Wait, isn't that a quote from The Stranger? Not The Outsider, not to let that detract from my original question. Yeah, I just looked it up. So, what's The Outsider then?
Étranger in French has several meanings. One is "foreign," as in exterior to one's country, while another is used to signify a generic person who is unknown to you, similar to "stranger."
It said globally, The Foreigner is used more so. Which do you think fits the best? What did you think of the main character? His indifference is appealing in a way to me. His lack of care for the turns his life takes aren't so interesting as his willingness to accept anything and not be affected by it.

This is a novel? Haven't read this one. Could you provide an explanation of the plot?
They're the same! Just has a different name. Silly, isn't it?
The translators couldn't agree on a title?
