This video was amazing. I didn't realise just how much Pandemic literature was out there... thank you!

Love it! The 'sometimes life imitates art' at the end (and that wasn't even the first time that happened in the storylines mentioned in the vid--which is basically the pt, ofc) v strong, great way to end it. also did not miss axiom's end on the shelf there :)

Loved the video, would have loved an hour of the same. Maybe some discussion of TB as a romantic disease in lit (maybe you previously discussed this?). Also, first book I re-read when this started was Camus' The Plague.

I was hoping the book Blindness by JosΓ© Saramago. The 'plague' in the book spreads with almost no sense and it's more about how people handle being infected. Even so, this was a great video!!
Loved the video. I'll be recommending it to students and colleagues.... If it's not too late by then π§

We just talked about pandemics and zombie books over my virtually hosted banned books club last night and then this popped up. Excited to share with them. Brilliant as always.

I just heard that thereβs a Les Mis video somewhere. Iβm not finding it on Patreon. Is it only for higher level people?
Jeez, that last quote is too true.

Well done! Nice to have a wee bit of hope in this time! Thanks!

"Givoanni Boccaccio?" (2:25) I hope you still have time to correct the typo :) But a great video!
