Because it's one of the best books written in the 20th Century. FYI--they award the Nobel Prize to authors; not for specific books.

It an amazing portrait of both a psychopath who is completely disconnected from society and Camus' view of the absurdity of life.

It's fine that you don't get it. No need to be proud of that, though.
