Many Miss the Point, Nov 8 2011

This is not a childish short story meant to please your Hollywood-driven sentiments of fulfillment. It is an early text from Existentialist writer Camus who experimented in this story with the many principles of Freedom, Angst, Authenticity, the Gaze, and the Absurd. I encourage readers to read this short story in the context of mutual identity, captivity, and freedom. Nothing is more instrumental to the construction of the story than the Arab-schoolteacher interaction and Gaze.

A short story full of angst., Feb 16 2004

"Guest" was an interesting short story full of emotion and dilemma, but the ending is very unsatisfactory with loose ends. It'll keep you guessing and it's full of suspense, but the ending is a letdown. I "sorta" recommend.
