''The Meursault Investigation'' ((フランス語:Meursault, contre-enquête)) is the first novel by Algerian writer and journalist Kamel Daoud. It is a retelling of Albert Camus's 1942 novel, ''The Stranger.'' First published in Algeria by Barzakh Editions (Oct 2013), it was reissued in France by Actes Sud (May 2014). Its publication in France was followed by nominations for many prizes and awards. ==Relationship to Camus' ''The Stranger''== Meursault, the protagonist of Camus' novel ''The Stranger,'' murders a character known only as "the Arab," claiming, in his trial, that the murder was a meaningless gesture caused by sunstroke or God's absence. Camus left Meursault's victim nameless, but Daoud gives him a name: Musa (Moses). ''The Meursault Investigation'' revisits these events, but from the point of view of Harun (Aaron), Musa's brother. Giving a name to Meursault's nameless victim, for Daoud, is about more than just revisiting a minor character. In an interview with the Los Angeles Review of Books, Daoud said: "Ever since the Middle Ages, the white man has the habit of naming Africa and Asia’s mountains and insects, all the while denying the names of the human beings they encounter. By removing their names, they render banal murder and crimes. By claiming your own name, you are also making a claim of your humanity and thus the right to justice."〔Daoud, Kamel & Robert Zaretsky. ("Insolence, Exile, and the Kingdom: Robert Zaretsky interviews Kamel Daoud" ) ''Los Angeles Review of Books'' Los Angeles, 9 June 2015. Retrieved Nov 6 2015.〕 In the same interview, when asked what prompted him to write the book, Daoud stressed the centrality of ''The Stranger'' to his identity as an Algerian Francophone writer.〔 In other outlets, Daoud has confirmed the integral role that ''The Stranger'' played in the genesis of ''The Meursault Investigation,'' describing his novel as "a dialogue with Camus."〔Carvajal, Doreen. ("An Algerian Author Fights Back Against a Fatwa" ) ''The New York Times'' New York, 4 Jan 2015. Retrieved 8 Nov 2015.〕
