Notes Addresses Ulster during the Troubles by imagining Albert Camus's life and his novel "The Plague", where the protagonist is interrogated by the police and fears arrest. Borderline regarding a human rights context - only in the fictional work which Mahon mentions. First published in Hunt by Night (1982).
