All the novels under review were written in a limited time span (1942 to 1987, approximately 50 years), and all are structured around a hero or heroine who remains culturally, ethically or aesthetically distant from his\/her narrative counterparts. Works discussed: Albert Camus' L'Etranger;  Richard Wright's The Outsider; André Langevin's Poussière sur la ville; Ernesto Sábato's El túnel; V.S. Naipaul's Guerrillas; Elie Wiesel's Le Cinquième fils; Norbert Zongo's Le Parachutage; Gisèle Pineau's L'Exil selon Julia, and Jean Genet's Querelle de Brest.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMary Jo Muratore\u003c\/b\u003e holds the Catherine Paine Middlebush Chair of the Humanities at the University of Missouri, USA.
