Don Juan Comes Back from the War
The legendary womanizer faces the consequences of his many dalliances.
Shaken by his experiences in war, Don Juan, the last man in all of Berlin, returns home to a pandemic and a line of women he's wronged in his life, providing plenty of ghosts to haunt him.
“Everybody knows that pestilences have a way of recurring in the world; yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky. There have been as many plagues as wars in history; yet plagues and wars always take people by surprise.”
(19) Mark Honigsbaum, The Pandemic Century: One Hundred Years of Panic, Hysteria, and Hubris, W.W. Norton, 2019.
