What is it like to read a book about a world-ending pandemic in the time of Covid? How do we find shades of grey in a tale of a final battle between good and evil? And is it possible to tell a compelling story where the characters have almost no agency, and the plot is the least important part of the book?
A new limited series of The Stand is coming in December, and to help get us ready (and prep for our episodes about it on Pandavision), we’re starting with a deep dive into the book!
