*I was wrong yesterday. It seems that the artist that Camus*
*was, saved that pretty full realistic materiality, Dreiserian or The
Jungle-like realism*
*for later in the novel. As The Plague spread deeply within the town. As if
he structured the damn thing smartly, for an emotional effect. *
*One might say my complacent too-early reading matches the townsfolk since
I *
*are one. So to speak. We all are. *
*And his psychological understanding of the effects is deeper than I can
easily "get" with feeling. Some curious responses yet an old friend*
*sent me an email about something he learned about the historic Black
Plague that is like a Camus situation. Camus, of course, researched like
Thomas Pynchon, of course. Just sayin'. *
*That is all for now. *
