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 piece is by Sivan Slapak, writing on Monday, April 13, 2020.
You’re fine. you’re still working and grateful. Safe in your apartment. You hear the jokes people are making about their living situations—how many will tramp to divorce lawyers after this, or the exhaustion of homeschooling. You, living alone, float through quiet, relieved and sullen.
To read the rest of the story, please support our community and check out Chronicling the Days: Dispatches from a Pandemic

Thanks Sivan, I needed this! What is essential?? Dancing like there’s nobody watching… sigh. Not as much fun as somebody watching and writing about it. (Sei Gesund!) xx karen
