Despre Fourteen Days carte
Set in a Lower East Side tenement in the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns,Fourteen Daysis an irresistibly propulsive collaborative novel from the Authors Guild, with an unusual twist: each character in this diverse, eccentric cast of New York neighbors has been secretly written by a different, major literary voice—from Margaret Atwood and John Grisham to Tommy Orange and Celeste Ng.
Oneweek into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattanhave begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants—some of whom have barely spoken to each other—become real neighbors. In thisDecameron-like serial novel,general editorsMargaret Atwood andDouglas Preston and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the peoplewhocouldn’tescape when the pandemic hit. Adazzling, heartwarming, and ultimately surprising narrative,Fourteen Daysreveals howbeneath the horrible loss and suffering, some communities managed to become stronger.
