Checkpoint Zipolite
Quarantine in a Small Place
Since leaving her American homeland in 2003 Belén Fernández had been an inveterate traveler. Ceaselessly wandering the world, the only constant in her itinerary was a conviction never to return to the country of her childhood. Then the COVID-19 lockdown happened and Fernandez found herself stranded in a small village on the Pacific coast of Mexico. “I doubt there’s another journalist quite like her… Fernández’s prose is so incisive, pithy, powerful, and often funny.”

Lockdown in Hell World
Foreshadowing a subsequent exodus, Luke O’Neil and his wife moved from the city to the suburbs just prior to the lockdown. Isolated not only by a virus but also by the alienation of a neighborhood where social distancing meant more than just geographical separation, O’Neil faced trials on numerous fronts. “As with all of O’Neil’s work, there is a refreshing, raw honesty to this level of unvarnished pessimism, and a kind of gallows humor best appreciated by people suffering through something horrific—which all of us, of course, are.” —Boston Magazine

PANDEMIC! 2
Chronicles of a Time Lost
In this exhilarating sequel to his acclaimed Pandemic!: COVID-19 Shakes the World, Žižek delves into some of the more surprising dimensions of lockdowns, quarantines, and social distancing—and the increasingly unruly opposition to them by “response fatigued” publics around the planet. “Žižek leaves no social or cultural phenomenon untheorized, and is master of the counterintuitive observation.”
—The New Yorker |
PANDEMIC!
Covid-19 Shakes the World
As an unprecedented global pandemic sweeps the planet, who better than the supercharged Slovenian philosopher, Slavoj Žižek to uncover its deeper meanings, marvel at its mind-boggling paradoxes, and speculate on the profundity of its consequences, all in a manner that will have you sweating profusely and gasping for breath? “An impressive feat.” —The Guardian
