The Decameron Project by New York Times
A timely anthology of short pieces written in response to the early months of the global pandemic that adopts Boccaccio’s framing of storytelling as a means to endure and make sense of crisis; the contributions—varied in tone from comic to tragic and in form from spare vignettes to fully realized tales—examine isolation, illness, desire, domestic strain, small mercies and moral ambiguity, ultimately showing how imaginative storytelling sustains connection, processes grief, and reveals unexpected resilience during upheaval.
