Camus powerfully writes to showcase the impact of collective action vs. egoism, contextualizing our dark past (the horrors of WW2, our more broadly, the human condition) as a plague. It serves as an important document to ward off illness, to inoculate our future.

I’ve read The Stranger a few times, but I had never read this. It’s relevant to today, but it’s also a genuinely well-written story.
