Vodcast: Camus, The Plague, and the value of literature in a time of pandemic
This is the audio version of a video I prepared for the "Camus, Christ and COVID-19" event organised by Christian Heritage Cambridge on 20 May 2020. The original video is available at https://youtu.be/ub0pmZHBuvg
In this episode I discuss the importance and value of literature in a time of crisis, some common misunderstandings about Camus' The Plague, and what we can gain from reading the novel in our current pandemic situation.
