chrisamaphone reviewed Albert Camus' The plague by Thomas Merton (Religious dimensions in literature -- 7)
Review of "Albert Camus' The plague" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Deeply moving and relatable to read during COVID. I found it spiritually nourishing, not in the sense of offering comfort, but in the sense of ringing true to me, confronting uncomfortable truths and articulating their social and emotional implications.
Also, Rieux/Tarrou are lovers in my headcanon.
