Here are some places on the web to visit that will fortify your understanding and analysis of Albert Camus and The Stranger.
Resources and critical thought on Camu's life work at the Albert Camus Society UK
The Swarthmore site features a nice collection of essays including Camus' own treatise on absurdim, "The Myth of Sysiphus," as well as a host of other topics that intersect with our class discussions/assignments. Read the student essays with a discriminating eye, though.
video for "Killing an Arab" by The Cure, a song inspired by and focused on Meursault.

I thought that the first site in particular was helpful as a "rehashing" of the concepts that we already discussed in class. It provided a good summary of the book in the link "Camus Thought" as well as some views and opinions on Camus and Existentialism. The second site was more about Camus himself, and people's personal opinions. The video was strange, but entertaining. I am curious as to why they decided to shoot the video on a beach with snow, since the murder happened on such a hot day.
