The Plague -- Albert Camus

 Very timely account of the plague in Algeria. An entire town closed off for many months. Sad tale of despair and death and coping. The best and the worst of people's behavior. Dr. Rieux is tirelessly futilely working in the same situation as everyone else. He loses friends and his wife. The plague leaves but somewhere the bacillus remains, waiting.
