  Albert Camus's The Outsider(1942) opens with one of the most iconic and provocative lines in modern literature: 'Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.' This stark, emotionally flat sentence immediately establishes the novel's core themes- alienation, absurdity, and societal judgment- while introducing the protagonist Meursault as a man fundamentally out of step with conventional human emotion. The opening's power lines in its simplicity, narrative detachment, and deliberate rejection of emotion performativity, all of which serve Camus' existentialist exploration of meaninglessness in a world that demands conformity.

  From this sentence we can know that he was indifferent to his mother's death. Thus he doesn't even know the exact date of his mother's death.
