Hi All...

When reality is surreal, only fiction can make sense of it...

In 1353, Giovanni Boccaccio wrote The Decameron: one hundred nested tales told
by a group of young men and women passing the time at a villa outside Florence
while waiting out the gruesome Black Death, a plague that killed more than 25
million people. Some of the stories are silly, some are bawdy, some are like
fables.

In March 2020, the editors of The New York Times Magazine worked to create a
collection of stories written just as the pandemic first swept the globe. How
might new fiction from some of today's finest writers help us memorialize and
understand the unimaginable? And what could be learned about how this crisis
will affect the art of fiction?

These Stories from Quarantine by twenty-nine authors vary widely in texture
and tone. The work is a historical tribute to a moment unlike any other in our
lifetimes, offering perspective and solace to the reader now and in the
uncertain future.
