![]() The people of Oran initially “disbelieved in pestilences”, outside of the pages of history books. Then, men, women and children start to fall ill with high fever, difficulties breathing and fatal buboes. Like people anywhere else, the Oranians are completely unprepared when rats begin emerging from the sewers to die in droves in streets and laneways. Their chief interest is in commerce, and their chief aim in life is, as they call it, ‘doing business’." ![]() Oran is a city like anywhere else, Camus’ narrator tells us: "Our citizens work hard, but solely with the object of getting rich. Its fictive chronicle of the measures taken in the city of Oran against a death-dealing disease that strikes in 1940 sometimes seemed to blur into the government announcements reshaping our lives. ![]() Rereading The Plague over these past weeks has been an uncanny experience. Sales of Albert Camus’ 1947 novel The Plague (La Peste) were spiking. The hospitals were filling up fast, as Covid-19 began to spiral out of control. Unable to return to Australia, they were in lockdown. Some weeks ago, I got an email from a student who had returned to Northern Italy over Christmas to see family. ![]() ![]() She doesn’t realize how wrong she is, until the night she disappears. Quite the contrary, she somehow finds herself drawn even closer to this spooky motel. Though, in 1982, The Sun Down is relatively new, it’s already had a storied history.Īnd at night, when the lights are low and the outside spookily calm, Viv sees it, too.īraver than most, Viv doesn’t allow these apparitions to scare her away from The Sun Down. A young woman, on her own, without money, in the technology desert that was 1982, the odds were certainly not in her favor.ĭetermined not to go home, she takes a job working overnights at The Sun Down Motel, an ill-conceived highway-side lodging option nestled against the sleepy upstate town of Fell, New York. It’s not surprising, really, given everything working against her. ![]() Though Viv Delaney had her sights set on New York City when she left home, pretty much penniless and entirely without a plan, she only ever made it as far as upstate New York. Though not set in a sweeping mountain lodge but instead a small, disused highway side motel, it retained all of the creepiness of The Shining and was just as effective in inducing me to sleep with the lights on. So it’s only natural, then, that this novel scared the bejebbies out of me. ![]() ![]() ![]() With the genesis for the plot in her mind, Christie started looking around her for inspiration. The whole point of a good detective story was that it must be somebody obvious but at the same time, for some reason, you would then find that it was not obvious… An Autobiography, Agatha Christie ![]() I could, of course, have a very unusual kind of murder for a very unusual motive, but that did not appeal to me artistically. I returned to thoughts of my other characters. Not like Sherlock Holmes, of course: I must invent one of my own, and he would also have a friend as a kind of butt or stooge–that would not be too difficult. At that date I was well steeped in the Sherlock Holmes tradition. ![]() ![]() There would naturally have to be a detective. It would have to be very much of an intime murder, owing to the particular way it was done it would have to be all in the family, so to speak. Who should be poisoned? Who would poison him or her? When? Where? How? Why? And all the rest of it. I toyed with the idea, liked it, and finally accepted it. I settled on one fact which seemed to me to have possibilities. Since I was surrounded by poisons, perhaps it was natural that death by poisoning should be the method I selected. I began considering what kind of a detective story I could write. ![]() ![]() The original set-up of the comic revolved around the nightly dreams of a little boy named Nemo (meaning "nobody" in Latin).
