They say that reading Albert Camus' The Plague in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic is trendy. Well, it's not so bad being trendy. Join us this month as David, Nathan, and Nick unpack Camus' classic work and ask all of the questions on everyone's minds: Is it logical to do good? Are pestilences real or mere abstractions? Is the philosophical novel genre fiction?
For the sake of maintaining normalcy in our now chaotic, fully virtual world, the B.O.S.S. hosts have done their best to stay true to their pre-pandemic IRL characters. Listen in as David aptly summarizes the tenets of existentialism and the world's associated meaninglessness, Nathan yet again brings up questions about his emotional vacancy, and Nick makes sure everyone knows that he is alternative by comparing the novel to '90s straight edge hardcore. Together, we will fight this thing. Break! Down! The walls!
