Produktbeschreibung

Is it anything like the ten Plagues of Egypt? Well, fairly close. 2020 was a year like no other in history both modern and "ancient" (that includes the much referenced 1918 Spanish flu pandemic). A cauldron of circumstances combined to make the kickoff year to a new decade one of the nadirs of the twenty-first century (which is really saying something, considering how many there have been thus far). Yet 2020 did not merely "end" on December 31st, but will persist for the foreseeable future with its ripple effect aftermath. In Corona(tion) Year, Vol. 1: Short Stories, the unfolding of the pandemic as it happened is explored through narrative fiction that both stylizes and accurately depicts a world gone stark-raving mad, having absolutely no idea how to function or treat one another when necessary restrictions vastly reined in everyday selfishness and frivolity.

Autorenporträt

Genna Rivieccio is the Editor-in-Chief of The Opiate, a literary quarterly launched in 2015. In addition to Corona(tion) Year Volumes 1 and 2, she has published three other novels: She's Lost Control, You Into It?: A Novella About Not Being Into It and Lindsay Lohan Stole My Life: A Satire of the 00s (writing as the ex- socialite Tate Carmichael). Her obsession with pop culture has translated over the years into the wide-ranging cultural criticism that appears on her long-running blog, culledculture.com. She identifies as a citizen of the world, unassigned to any one place forever, despite the fact that, more than ever, one needs dough to fulfill that pretentious claim.
