A Plague of Hockey Sticks

Everybody's reading it, I guess, and we will too — Camus' The Plague. Some are even having to read it, students who may have hoped "distance learning" would be time spent playing hockey on the trampoline. 🤨 Reading … or listening to it, like Nathaniel, walking through the snow
(recalling the last scene of Fahrenheit 451).

                (Mercy me — what happened to the snow!?) 😳

Many, like the students and we ourselves, will also be discussing it. "A computer screen filled with 30 faces" … I wonder, will we get so many? (For those for whom this post has been insufficiently high-minded, squirrel out the link within the link for Alain de Botton's thoughts on Camus' plague in our time.)
