Billy Joel - The Stranger - 1977

I understand that this isn’t Catcher in the Rye. I just want to get that out here in the beginning before I say this:
This is Catcher in the Rye.
The story feels like Holden Abroad and there’s this unsettled nature to it that ties the two stories together. A restless itch that makes the protagonist scratch his neck and shake his leg and find himself unable to sit still. A depression that bleeds both out into the world and from that same world into their very bones.
A hope for something better and a realization that this is probably as good as it’s ever going to be.
That said, CitR was a more believable story and at least it didn’t spring from a joke.
I just didn’t like the observational nature of this story - the whole “I saw myself doing this thing and had no idea WHY I was doing it.” That got real old real fast because at the end of the day we are not only our impacts but our motivations as well.
I finished this and a friend said they had to read it in college and hated it. I could see why people would hate this.
But I could also see why people would love it.
If you liked CitR, this might be worth your time! Maybe. Or you could read CitR, then read this for comparison, and then read CitR again and see that you’re correct: CitR IS a better story.

The Stranger (2022)
★★☆☆
Un thriller psychologique, doublé d'un film d'atmosphère languissant.

#PublicSquare is an inadvertent gift to #antifascists :antifa:
ACAB includes the Stranger now. This is pathetic.
Meanwhile Hannah covered The Stranger's daily news roundup in the Slog AM and did a metric fuck-ton of on the ground reporting at protests and the daily going-ons at Seattle city hall.
With the departure of Hannh and Ashley we're basically loosing one of the absolute best publications in town for following legislature and elections news!
All of Hannah's reports:
One series that I'm extremely upset to see The Stranger may not continue is Ashley Nerbovig's "Bad Apples" blog.
Ashley covered Seattle police abuses in a roughly monthly round up of stories that make you question why cops exist at all.
It's unclear after Ashley's forced "resignation" if The Stranger will continue this hard hitting cop abuse reporting.

So, I said this was a drama well naturally there's an alleged sex scene and also some bullshit.
So evidently some people in local "political circles" heard about hot people who also exist in these circles having sex, once.
Nothing bad is alleged during this sex. Just that 3rd parties found out about it & for some reason demanded Ashely and Hannah's help with the steamy situation.

Major Seattle drama I haven't posted about yet two incredible The Stranger reporters, Hannah Krieg & Ashley Nerbovig, have been forced to resign after a dubious "internal investigation".
If you're out of the loop, The Stranger was recently sold to new management, Brady Walkinshaw's Noisy Creek. During this process the workers formed a union.

Reading The Stranger by Albert Camus. So far so good. There’s something serene about the way he writes. I’m not certain how to precisely describe it, but it’s enjoyable and calming, despite the feelings of loneliness and tiredness that are present. #albertcamus #thestranger #thestrangerbyalbertcamus #reading #philosophy #literature
Killer cop Kevin Dave has finally been fired from the Seattle police department.
Officer Dave killed Jaahnavi Kandula while she crossed a street in SLU. Dave was driving 75mph to answer a medical call that didn't require police presence and was already being handled by fire department. Dave not have his siren or lights on. Ofc dave was also a well known terrible driver with many tickets.
