The Plague by Albert Camus

5.0

---

Incredible! Especially fascinating to read after living through the height of the covid pandemic, this book is certainly prophetic. And even beyond Camus’ absurdism, he gives us thoughts on suffering, morality, and language (there was a specific passage that I connected to Wittgenstein, which I need! to discuss! with somebody!) Again, just really fascinating stuff. Love loved the last line: “…and that perhaps the day would come when, for the bane and the enlightening of men, it would rouse up its rats again and send them forth to die in a happy city.” !!!!!!!!
I love Camus.
