Pandemic Literature
Pandemic literature refers to works of fiction and non-fiction that explore themes related to disease outbreaks, societal changes, and human resilience during crises. This genre gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, as authors reflected on the emotional and social impacts of isolation, fear, and uncertainty.
Many classic works, such as Albert Camus's "The Plague" and Daniel Defoe's "A Journal of the Plague Year," also fall under this category, offering insights into historical pandemics. These narratives often examine the human condition, community dynamics, and the struggle for survival in the face of overwhelming challenges.
