This book is a classic, but one that I had not read before; upon reading it, I realized that it is a stellar entry (if not one of the first) in the list of books that deal with a city that is isolated and thrown upon its own resources to deal with a disaster. I very much enjoyed reading this book, and recommend it to anyone (but advise against eating while reading some of the descriptive parts). Sometime in the late 1940s, the populace in the port city of Oran, in French Algeria, notices that all the rats are dying. Once all the rat have died, over the space of ten days, the city of some 200,000 people is stricken with the same disease that killed the rats – bubonic plague. The city gates are promptly shut, and with very few exceptions nothing comes into or out of the city for the duration of the plague. The story is told by an unknown narrator (whose identity is revealed at the end of the book); it follows several people in the city as they deal in their own ways with the plague. Among them are Dr. Rieux, a physician who treats the victims; Father Paneloux, a Jesuit priest who provides the religious framework of the novel; Grand, a clerk in the city government, whose hobby is writing a novel (of which he has spent years doing nothing but re-writing the first sentence, trying to make it perfect); Tarrou, who arrived in the city a few weeks before the plague, and who keeps a diary; Cottard, a traveling salesman, who is happy that the plague keeps the authorities from questioning him about a crime; and Raymond Rambert, a journalist who was stranded in the town by the plague and who is passionately interested in getting out of the town by any means possible. As the plague lasts for several months, all of these characters, and the town itself, go through many changes; the plague is seen as a separate character or nemesis, striking whomever it will, and drastically affecting both those who are struck down and those who remain free of the disease. I very much enjoyed reading this book; it seems to be a book that can be re-read every twenty years or so with profit to the reader, and if I live so long, I may do so along about 2031.
