In April 2020, we invited writers in Quebec to submit a story of a single day during the strange, uneasy time of coronavirus and pandemic, of social distancing and self isolation, of lockdown and quarantine.
We’re thrilled to announce that these stories have been gathered in Chronicling the Days: Dispatches from a Pandemic (Guernica Press). To learn more and buy the book, please visit https://www.guernicaeditions.com/title/9781771836579.
Please also join us on the QWF FB Community page, and let the authors know if their words resonated.

This morning, I was in what I imagine a cigar den might look like. There was a bar and low-rise tables everywhere, made to seem even more low thanks to the high ceiling of the room. It was bright. There were people sitting closer than two metres together.
