Well it's arrived. I ordered the CDs of Albert Camus reading his own L'étranger and I've heard the first part. When I studied the book at A level as a 17 year old I had no idea such a thing was available and now it is 35 years later. Not being an actor maybe he's not the most fantastic reader-no Steven Fry-but the authenticity is giving me a real tremor of excitement. I also search out Camus and found him on the www.ina.fr site. I am certainly going to do some resources for www.alevelfrench.com but am not yet sure in what format. I still can't decide what to make of L'étranger although I can confess to some bizarre behaviour when revising for the exams when I was doing A levels.
I used to get a psychology mag and it was when contextual memory was being talked about perhaps for the first time. That's to say that if you were under a tree wearing a straw hat when you learned something-the next time you were there you would be in a better position to remember the same facts.
I reread the whole of L'étranger in a hot bath which I had to keep topping up to simulate the effect of the heat issue. I didn't try to get the dazzling light side of things going. Just one of my little pecadilloes. I sat in the middle of a field to revise my Wilfred Owen war poetry. I guess I'd better stop there!
