Yeah, it's called "The Stranger" in America. I love that book and Albert Camus.
 
I've seen a few copies of the Cure singles collection with a disclaimer sticker on the cover, mentioning that song. Camus' "The Outsider" was a real teen angst classic when I was about 18. I can't rememeber how many times I read it, but it's a great book. And if you've read the book the song makes a hell of a lot more sense.

Oh, and Paula, isn't that book the inspiration for "Killing an Arab"?!?!
