Description
Set in a Lower East Side tenement in the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns Fourteen Days is an irresistibly propulsive collaborative novel from the Authors Guild with an unusual twist: each character in this diverse eccentric cast of New York neighbors has been secretly written by a different major literary voice--from Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston to Tommy Orange and Celeste Ng. One week into the COVID-19 shutdown tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night more and more neighbors gather bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants--some of whom have barely spoken to each other--become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel general editor Margaret Atwood Authors Guild president Douglas Preston and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldnt escape when the pandemic hit. A dazzling heartwarming and ultimately surprising narrative Fourteen Days reveals how beneath the horrible loss and suffering some communities managed to become stronger. Includes writing from: Charlie Jane Anders Margaret Atwood Jennine Capo Crucet Joseph Cassara Angie Cruz Pat Cummings Sylvia Day Emma Donoghue Dave Eggers Diana Gabaldon Tess Gerritsen John Grisham Maria Hinojosa Mira Jacob Erica Jong CJ Lyons Celeste Ng Tommy Orange Mary Pope Osborne Douglas Preston Alice Randall Ishmael Reed Roxana Robinson Nelly Rosario James Shapiro Hampton Sides R.L.
