Download or read book COVID Chronicles written by Kendra Boileau and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to its knees. When we weren’t sheltering in place, we were advised to wear masks, wash our hands, and practice social distancing. We watched in horror as medical personnel worked around the clock to care for the sick and dying. Businesses were shuttered, travel stopped, workers were furloughed, and markets dropped. And people continued to die. Amid all this uncertainty, writers and artists from around the world continued to create comics, commenting directly on how individuals, societies, governments, and markets reacted to the worldwide crisis. COVID Chronicles: A Comics Anthology collects more than sixty such short comics from a diverse set of creators, including indie powerhouses, mainstream artists, Ignatz and Eisner Award winners, and media cartoonists. In narrative styles ranging from realistic to fantastic, they tell stories about adjusting to working from home, homeschooling their kids, missing birthdays and weddings, and being afraid just to leave the house. They probe the failures of government leaders and the social safety net. They dig into the racial bias and systemic inequities that this pandemic helped bring to light. We see what it’s like to get the virus and live to tell about it, or to stand by helplessly as a loved one passes. At times heartbreaking and at others hopeful and humorous, these comics express the anger, anxiety, fear, and bewilderment we feel in the era of COVID-19. Above all, they highlight the power of art and community to help us make sense of a world in crisis, reminding us that we are truly all in this together. The comics in this collection have been generously donated by their creators. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this volume are being donated by the publisher to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc) in support of comics shops, bookstores, and their employees who have been adversely affected by the pandemic.

Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has robbed college students of countless sacred, rite-of-passage experiences long taken for granted, a blow compounded by this country's political upheaval. "COVID Chronicles" started as a blog assignment in a Media Writing class and became a raw, gripping look at the impact of the pandemic on young adults - written in their own words as they navigated the all-online fall 2020 semester. Students shared heartfelt stories of fear, despair, anger - and - on occasion - hope. One struggled to see a way out of his depression. Another was afraid to leave her home and isolated herself from friends and family. One lived through a grandmother's COVID-19 diagnosis. And one, adopted from Korea as a baby, wrote about feeling staring, blaming eyes on her, as if she were somehow responsible for the virus. But there were uplifting posts too, including one student who was thankful for his isolated and safe mountaintop home and another who savored family time that otherwise wouldn't have happened. If you wonder how this pandemic is impacting our college students, "COVID Chronicles" will leave you wondering no more, and wanting to help them.
