full_question: In this novel, a character is bothered by the "big flies that keep landing on his face" while speaking with a civil officer.

That scene occurs after a character, enraged, states that "There were only privileged people." At the turning point in this novel, a man discharges his gun four times, which was like "knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness." For 10 points, name this novel with an absurdist hero, written by Albert Camus.
