The Death of Grass 3 - Wider society
At the start, the characters (reflecting wider British society) have an amused disdain of other countries and their responses to the virus. By the end, their world has closed down to a tiny and quite vulnerable enclave. How does this match with your experiences during COVID (positive and/or negative)?
Comments
A disdain of other countries except 'The Americans' who again are assumed will somehow once again come to the rescue. Unlike in Triffids, in this novel this heroic role is also extended to the Commonwealth.
The Canadian attitude would be that we can and will save ourselves. And once that's taken care of, we'll go and help others because it's the right thing to do, knowing our contribution will quickly be forgotten.
