This week we revisit 2020, I mean the Vichy/Nazi occupation of the south of France. We were infected with The Plague, Camus’ longer, somehow, more depressing work.
Host: Dr. Nic Hoffmann
Panel: Mike Burns and Mike Carroll
“The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Fear, isolation, and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr. Rieux, resist the terror.” From the new Vintage Translation by Laura Marris.
