bfisher, I suspect that, like women, the "natives" were of no importance to Camus. And I expect that the French would have lived their lives quite separately from the Algerians whose country they had taken over. Most colonisers seem to practise apartheid in one form or another, Australia not least among them.
Caleb, I like your idea of Grand's novel and his endless polishing of his opening sentence standing for life before, during and after the plague. The need to start again, but to live life differently perhaps, after the searing experience.
fantasyfan, thanks for your kind words!
