    I think he’s referring to The Plague by Albert Camus not Moby Dick.

    Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year would suit nicely.

    Does sound like he’s talking about the election.

    How about Nostradamus? He fought against the plague. And some people think his quatrains are classic literature.

    he has not done Moby Dick, or at least not since the move to GoComics in 2001. In 2003, we get a hint as to where Caulfield got his …ummm… whatever it is. His grandfather comes to school as Caulfield, while Caulfield is Dorian Gray.

    I wondered today when it would end. It’s much easier to declare it “started” than to declare it “ended”.

    “Transversely” is a clue.

    Caulfield is profound today. The Covid-19 Blues have dampened his usual exuberance, as it is rapidly doing for the rest of us. Prayers for all.

    Perhaps he should reflect on Harrison Bergeron as we are all suffering the chains of the pandemic.

    What popped into my mind (inappropriately) was Metamorphosis by Kafka. Imagine if that was a pandemic!

    Once a day I go outside and say “Computer, end program”, just in case it works.

    How about On the Beach by Nevil Shute. That was appropriately depressing.

    Pale Horse, Pale Rider

    Porter

    The Plague

    Camus

    Andromeda Strain

    Crichton

    Blindness

    Saramago

    Nemesis

    Roth

    Severance

    Ma

    There are more, and of course that Mark Twain influenza pandemic short story.

    If he goes into non-fiction we may see something related to the smallpox infected blankets given to Native Americans, or the soldiers of WWI.

    Oh, it’s over; it’s just that people who are profiting from it refuse to stop whipping a dead horse.
