Virus City

Weaving Together Chicago’s Experience of the Pandemic


 

“This collection is full of people who are telling their stories with honesty and in earnest. You’ll be reading about firefighters and EMTs who see death and pain on a daily basis and have to be around groups of people; a worker at an adolescent psychiatric inpatient facility who watches his students find some other home to go to; teachers and students who were thrown into online learning with little to no preparation, and how that has created worry about an uncertain future; or a student working in Chinatown who now has to deal not only with the stress of work, but also with prejudice and hate against Asian-Americans.

This collection is about human beings living and struggling, but most importantly, overcoming. This collection is about more than the human condition. It’s about human resiliency.”

–Kenyatta Rogers
