Writing the Virus

Writing the Virus: New Work from StatORec Magazine draws from writing published in the online literary magazine StatORec from mid-April to September 2020. Its 31 authors explore the experience of lockdown, quarantine, social distancing, and the politicization of the virus from a wide variety of perspectives. The majority of the texts were written exclusively for the Brooklyn- and Berlin-based journal, and a keen sense of urgency prevails throughout, an understanding that the authors are chronicling something, responding to something that is changing them and the social fabric all around them.
