From its first ominous stirrings, renowned journalist Eli Saslow began interviewing a cross-section of Americans, capturing their experiences in real time: An exhausted and anguished EMT risking his life in New York City; a grocery store owner feeding his neighborhood for free in locked-down New Orleans; an overwhelmed coroner in Georgia; a Maryland restaurateur forced to close his family business after forty-six years; an Arizona teacher wrestling with her fears and her obligations to her students; rural citizens adamant that the whole thing is a hoax, and retail workers attacked for asking people to wear masks; patients struggling to breathe and doctors desperately trying to save them. Through Saslow's masterful, empathetic interviewing, we are given a kaleidoscopic picture of a people dealing with the unimaginable. These deeply personal accounts make for cathartic reading, as we see Americans at their worst, and at their resilient best"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- $z United States $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $x Political aspects $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20220806015159.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211106010047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD51CDE83EC611ECA274DF3657ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
