105: The strange literary ambition of M. Grand in Albert Camus's The Plague

from ZenGlop The Podcast · host Andrew Kaiser

M. Grand is a bureaucrat in the city offices of Oran. He has a secret literary ambition. When we finally see his manuscript, it appears that 50 pages of careful notes work and re-work the same opening sentence in hundreds of similar variations. I read through all variations mentioned in the narrative.
