CAMUS' 'STRANGER' BRINGS $175,000

Author: (AP)
Date: Sunday, June 16, 1991
Page: 23
Section: NATIONAL/FOREIGN

PARIS -- The handwritten manuscript of Albert Camus' most famous novel, ''The Stranger," was sold at auction yesterday for $175,000. The 104-page manuscript was signed and dated April 1940. "The Stranger," about a French expatriate in North Africa who is jailed for murder, brought international acclaim to Camus, already known in French intellectual circles as a leader of the existentialist movement. He won the Nobel prize for literature in 1957, three years before his death. The manuscript had belonged to a private collector. The buyer was not identified.
