Bolt’s A Man For All Seasons‚ and Albert Camus’ Meursault from The Outsider‚ an apparent murderer who does not believe in God‚ possibly have in common? For starters‚ both men have led similar lives in a search for the truth‚ and have very strong personal belief systems.

Alicia said that they do celebrate it to some extent
