Danita L (ladygoshawke) | 727 comments Combine Editions of The Meursault Investigation by Kamel Daoud

50 Editions
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

Hardcover - English - Other Press Edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Add description from Paperback edition (below) to the Hardcover edition, excluding the award comments at beginning of description.

Ahhh, in the description section, ADD The Stranger as the title of the Camus book mentioned (see below):

Current first sentence:

"He was the brother of ‘the Arab’ killed by the infamous Meursault, the antihero of Camus’s classic novel."

Change to:

"He was the brother of ‘the Arab’ killed by the infamous Meursault, the antihero of Camus’s classic novel, The Stranger."

I read The Stranger years ago but others might not know WHICH "Camus classic novel" is being referenced.

Alex | 2736 comments Done. Do you know the translator for this edition?

Danita L (ladygoshawke) | 727 comments No, just stumbled onto the entry when adding the book to my Want to Read. But if a person 'wanted' to ass-u-me, then it should be John Cullen since that is the translator given on the paperback edition by the same publisher, Other Press. Checked AbeBooks and a few others by ISBN but could not find a seller that listed the translator of the HC.

Alex | 2736 comments Haha, yes, I was also ass-u-ming (Dynasty?) that would be the case, but was trying for the proper way. In any case, thank you for reporting!
