    [synopsis] => A stunning collection of new short stories originally commissioned by The New York Times Magazine as the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, from 29 authors including Margaret Atwood, Tommy Orange, Edwidge Danticat and more, in a project inspired by Boccaccio's "The Decameron."

When reality is surreal, only fiction can make sense of it.

 

As the coronavirus pandemic swept the world, The New York Times Magazine asked 29 authors to write new short stories inspired by the moment-and by Giovanni Boccaccio's "The Decameron," which was written as a plague ravaged Florence in the 14th century.
