If things get way way worse, you'll have your fun nihilism party. It's not bad enough yet for people to give up. The intro of the Decameron explains it pretty well.

Oh Superman where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour

I read this book like ten years ago. Not a school assignment, just had me interested. I can't remember a single thing about it. Makes me wonder why I read anything considering I'll forget it all in a couple years

>> No.14937974

You do get its not actually about the experience of being in a plague

This, it's weird that with this book specifically I remember nothing about, though with how I keep track I can clearly recall much about books I read BEFORE the Plague, other than it being vaguely sad. I guess Camus doesn't really leave an impression on you other than le kooky Stranger huh
