The Fall by Albert Camus

The Fall, first published in 1956, is set in Amsterdam and consists of a series of dramatic monologues by the self-proclaimed "judge-penitent" Jean-Baptiste Clamence, as he reflects upon his life to a stranger. Like Camus' earlier works, this brilliant, above all discomforting monologue, gradually saps then undermines the reader's own complacency, holding a disquieting mirror up to modern morality.
