Brain Pain discussion

This is our planned reading and discussion schedule for Albert Camus’ novel, The Plague.

Page numbers are from the Vintage International edition, 1991, translated by Stuart Gilbert in 1948.

We are scheduled to discuss this book for three weeks, from May 18th to June 7th. There is no convenient way to break the book into three equal parts, so instead, the five discussions will cover one part for each of the five parts. Read and comment on the parts as you go…


Part One, page 1 – 63

Part Two, page 65 – 164

Part Three, page 165 – 185

Part Four, page 187 – 265

Part Five, page 267 – 308
