Roughly thirty years ago, R. M. Hare told an Anglo-French philosophy conference about a young Swiss student who came to stay with his family in Oxford. It seems that the student was doing very nicely, until, in a burst of misguided hospitality, the Hares provided him with one of their few French books, Camus's L'Etranger . Reading Camus had the effect of changing the student from an affable, altogether attractive young man into a chain-smoking recluse for whom “ rien, rien n'avait d'importance ”
