Weekend Reading Assignment: The Plague

June 1, 2007 at 8:16 pm | In literature | 1 Comment

The radio show Open Source will have an upcoming program on Camus’ The Plague:

Read The Plague this weekend, and help us milk Camus’s metaphor for our own pestilential times!

We will be guided on air by the historian Tony Judt of NYU, a Camus aficionado, and by the political scientist John Mearsheimer of Chicago, who remembers The Plague as a staple of his own West Point education.

But the reading assignment is for everybody.

This looks like it will be a great program. Be sure to check out the extra credit readings on the program’s webpage.
