'Still-life of a Pandemic: Expanded Edition', June 2022
Still-life of a Pandemic: Expanded Edition is an account of the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020-21. “Heart-rending” while being “humane and accessible”, penned by a world poet, it takes us beyond how the media, politicians or scientists have portrayed the pandemic, to the heart of intensely personal experiences of ordinary people, the heroic and the unspoken.
Street of the hollow eyes explores the life of an ordinary family trying to get on in these times when the father develops a fever. Living the lockdowns and The Covid-19 vaccine race expand the reach of Still-life of a Pandemic into subjects of national and international importance.
