A Year in Pandemic Time
by Amy Kaler
In Until Further Notice, Amy Kaler records a personal account of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in real time
She documents a series of jolts to her thoughts, perceptions, emotions, and habits―an internal seismograph of living through a global emergency. Kaler's introspection underlines the universal experience of dissonance brought on by COVID-19 and invites readers to ponder its ambiguities. At the same time, the pandemic lets Kaler put down roots, as she rediscovers her neighbourhood and her city's natural spaces. Reflexive and relatable, Until Further Notice captures fine-grained, everyday experiences from an extraordinary year.
