Why read it?

1 author picked Alone Together as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Jennifer Haupt has collected a diverse, fascinating, and powerful group of writers who dig deep into the challenges we faced at the height of COVID.

The anthology, a fundraiser for the Book Industry Charitable Foundation, features poems, essays, interviews, and more. I found the wide range of experiences and emotions both comforting and inspiring.

From Victoria's list on friendship and grief (and pandemics).
