whoaa. this is a gold-standard allegory!!

camus writes beautifully. his works are considered existentialist classics for good reason. the plague and the people’s efforts to rally each other, to fight it, and their musings—great allegories and very mesmerising to read.

i tend to like books that describe the micro moments well. camus’s writing is more zoomed out than i’m used to, yet he paints the picture so well that i feel like im in the scene too
