AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In early 2020 much of the world went into Lockdown as a means of dealing with Covid-19.This created a new situation for many people-separated by distance; connected by ideas and relationships, new and old. This anthology of short stories shares the experiences, dreams and fevered-creations of writers from Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Morocco, who have been living in Lockdown. The stories are presented in all manner of formats – fictional narrative, biography, sci-fi hypothetical, historical fiction, poetry – and cover a wide variety of personal and social subjects. Limited only by the writers' imaginations and a link to this Time of Coronavirus.' (Publication summary)
