What literature suggests we should expect after the pandemic

Much has been written about seeking clarity during the coronavirus pandemic by reading fiction and nonfiction about other plagues.

The Guardian, today, is reminding us that literature gives us a preview of what to expect after restrictions lift.

Many, but not all, stories end with jubilation and celebration — there are, however, a few somber lessons, such as the warning, in A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe, not to let our guard down too quickly.

Head to the Guardian for fiction and nonfiction’s post-plague predictions.
