Book excerpt: Have you ever loved someone so much, you were willing to give up your life? Jackson Marley Richardson is a man who is about to make a decision. A decision you make only once. A determination of whether he should live or die. He is faced with a life that has not turned out how he thought it would. He's faced with a decision that he doesn't want to make, yet thinks he must, because of his love for his wife and children. Jack represents everyman and everywoman. Like all of us who are forced to make a decision in a world, not the one we thought it would be or should be, but a world that has turned upside down. A world where religion has turned from love to acrimony. A world where politics has pitted players on the same team against each other. Love in the time of Coronavirus is a book about reflection, questioning, and realizations about our world, and how it is forcing many to just bury their heads in the sand and give up, or for some to recommit to helping foster change through love, friendship, and a renewed faith in the individual's ability to be the agent of that change. It is the deep look into the mirror; we all must take at some point in life. Now is that time. The book is an astonishing and enlightening journey and a life adventure, reflecting on extraordinary times with Jack's wife, family, and friends, not thinking of what he missed but appreciating all that is. It is a profound book about life, love, and friendships today that will resonate with all. Love in the time Coronavirus offers a compelling, insightful look into love, politics, bigotry, faith, and friendship. The loving romanticism and exciting plot will keep you enraptured throughout. With a myriad of twists and turns, the ending will astound you.

Download or read book Love in the Time of Contagion written by Laura Kipnis and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timely, insightful, and darkly funny investigation, the acclaimed author of Against Love asks: what does living in dystopic times do to our ability to love each other and the world? COVID-19 has produced new taxonomies of love, intimacy, and vulnerability. Will its cultural afterlife be as lasting as that of HIV, which reshaped consciousness about sex and love even after AIDS itself had been beaten back by medical science? Will COVID end up making us more relationally conservative, as some think HIV did within gay culture? Will it send us fleeing into emotional silos or coupled cocoons, despite the fact that, pre-COVID, domestic coupledom had been steadily losing fans? Just as COVID revealed our nation to itself, so did it hold a mirror up to our relationships. In Love in the Time of Contagion, Laura Kipnis weaves (often hilariously) her own (ambivalent) coupled lockdown experiences together with those of others and sets them against a larger backdrop: the politics of the virus, economic disparities, changing gender relations, and the ongoing institutional crack-ups prompted by #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, mapping their effects on the everyday routines and occasional solaces of love and sex.

Book excerpt: ‘No one till now has written on the coronavirus against a cultural backdrop as vast as this—crossing centuries, continents and disciplines. This small book will outrun all the repetitive details of the pandemic with which we are being regularly bombarded’ ASHIS NANDY ‘Vinay Lal's 3-D analysis of the what and the why of the COVID experience, is a must read for grasping the finer lines of history, culture and literature invisibly woven into the global response to the pandemic’ GANESH DEVY ‘Lal writes with an ease that is a pleasure to read. This book shows how we can see ourselves in the crisis of COVID-19, in the mirrors of our common, shared but unfinished humanity’ SATENDRA NANDAN There has never been anything like the Covid-19 pandemic in history. The world as we knew it has changed and the fury of Covid-19 has unleashed new forces, leaving us with an uncertain future. Though its fatality rate, in comparison with some previous epidemics such as the Black Death and the ‘Spanish flu’ of 1918-20, is strikingly low, and though it follows in the path of epidemics such as HIV, SARS, and Ebola, the coronavirus pandemic has produced outcomes which are altogether unprecedented. There is no other instance where the world was, over three months, brought to a standstill and the global economy shuttered. Most countries imposed a ‘lockdown’ and shut down their borders. In Italy and Spain, old people were left to die; in India, millions of migrants took to the road. In some countries rulers have assumed emergency powers. America, the world’s superpower, has been brought to its knees. The economic impact of the outbreak has been shattering; the environmental implications may yet be monumental. Investigating all these trends and the social, cultural, political, and philosophical aspects and implications of the pandemic, this book evaluates the fate of humankind and the earth in its wake.

Soon he was struggling to breathe, and then he was admitted to hospital, suffering from coronavirus as the nation teetered on the edge of a global pandemic. What followed was months on the wards: six weeks in an induced coma, and many more weeks of rehab and recovery as the NHS saved Michael's life, and then got him back on his feet.

Embarking on the long road to recovery, Michael was soon ready to start writing about his near-death experience. Combining stunning new prose poems by one of Britain's best loved poets and the moving coronavirus diaries of his nurses, doctors and wife Emma-Louise Williams, this is a beautiful book about love, life and the NHS. Featuring original illustrations by Chris Riddell, each page celebrates the power of community, the importance of kind gestures in dark times, and the indomitable spirits of the people who keep us well.

Download or read book Love Hope written by Kimberly S Hoffman and published by . This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thought-provoking, children's book about the emotions, thoughts and attitudes of young children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hope, an empathetic, young girl, is confined more to home during the COVID-19 pandemic. After hearing her mother talk about having pen pals as a child, she decides to write letters to her friends to keep in touch. Her friends respond, telling Hope about their fears, concerns, and anger over the circumstances in which they find themselves. It's not all doom and gloom, though, as the children also relay stories of joys and accomplishments along the way. The letters, based on real children's answers to questions asked by the author, and Hope's replies, are found in the book. Children's author Kimberly S. Hoffman asked her young readers to describe their thoughts and feelings on going through this pandemic. Their responses demonstrated that adults were not the only ones struggling through this time. Love, Hope: Children Express Their Emotions During the Coronavirus Pandemic gives parents and readers the opportunity to explore their emotions and talk through any worries that children might have. The story is an amazing resource to allow you to have a conversation with your child on how they feel about any difficult circumstances they may face, help them understand it's okay to feel whatever it is they feel, and help them deal constructively with their emotions. And, just maybe, you will find some hope as you read, too.

Download or read book Love in the Time of Coronavirus written by Angela Alaimo O'Donnell and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems map a private pilgrimage to nowhere—from the chair to the couch, the couch to the chair. These poems also map a public pilgrimage through the landscape of pandemic, from dire disaster to the hope for healing. They chronicle a year spent in lockdown in a small village just outside New York City. Living amid the Coronavirus catastrophe has occasioned extraordinary outpourings of love over the past year. These poems recognize the public love of healthcare workers, front-line essential workers, people helping their sick and elderly neighbors and family members, school teachers ministering to students and their parents—all signs of our belief in the common good, as well as the many forms of private and personal love we practice—among them the uncountable emails, texts, social media posts, phone calls, and Zoom calls we share with our beloveds whom we are separated from, making ourselves present to them virtually when we cannot be present physically. These are but a few of the many forms love has taken—and continues to take—during these late days of pandemic. The title of the book, Love in the Time of Coronavirus, is borrowed from Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s luminous novel, Love in the Time of Cholera, about the enduring power of love in the face of time and deadly circumstance. This book of poems goes beyond Marquez's primary focus on romantic attachment to consider love in its many forms. As with Marquez's novel, the poems remind us that love flourishes even, and perhaps especially, during times of extremity, when the reality of mortality becomes palpable to us and we begin to see life in the context of eternity. It is then that love becomes the most powerful antidote we have to human suffering.
