How do we end this? Hockey game just finished fwiw.

The Stranger makes the most sense, but I've been tunneling that for awhile. Just seems like a book eb would read

But we got some cushion, so let's not blow it. Anything else still qualify?

So Camus seems most likely atm.

These guys all won a NP for literature:

Frédéric Mistral
Romain Rolland
Anatole France
Henri Bergson
Roger Martin du Gard
François Mauriac

Haven't checked any of their works though, so no idea if they fit.

Oh ****. That question was about the film. I thought it was about a literary adaptation.

I think The Plague might be eligible.

He's probably down. Let's do:

Is the author Camus or Mauriac?

(unless you got something more optimal)

The Stranger is one of my favorite books ever, but I've never read anything else by Camus. I hope this one is just as good.
