Ori Z Soltes: Literature In and About the Time of Plague
Given the current state of the world regarding the public health emergency, that should unite humanity to fight against it, it seems particularly appropriate to interweave two related ideas within this series. These ideas include the works written during the time of plague or the works that include the idea of plague as part of its content (or both) combined with that most enduring aspect of human experience: love and its concomitants.
Relax, pour yourself a drink, read, think, and turn on your computer for a stimulating series of virtual discussions!
