The plague

Jochen Fromm-5
Is it a good time to read Albert Camus' 'The Plague' ? Frank and David have so much books on their bookshelves that they probably have it already...

Re: The plague

I reread The Plague two years ago for a summer workshop at United Church of Santa Fe. It is a powerful novel simply as a literary work but is especially powerful as an extraordinarily human response to the threat of widespread death.  Highly recommend but particularly now.

It's a good time to share small bits of good news.


At the end of the article, I note that the writer grew up in a peace village in Israel called Neve Shalom Wahat al Salam, an intentional community where for generations Jewish and Arab families lived together.  I was a member of the mediation team there that facilitated the first dialogue between Israels and West Bank Palestinians.  Previously, the only meetings were between Israelis and Palestinian citizens of Israel living in Israel.
