well, in comparison to Camus' other writings that are absolutely timeless this one probably did not age that well. not his strongest work if you ask me

review coming eventually, but oh my goodness, the growing stone was terrible. it was such a struggle to read a thirty-page story that it was almost embarrassing, but it was just SO BAD. it was really racist and boring, and while i get that it's supposed to be absurd, it should still be good. such a disappointment, because i love all of the other stories in this book, so it was a huge bummer that it was chosen as the final one.
