“Sigrid Nunez’s Salvation City is a novel from 2010 that grapples with the strange and intangible fallout of a global pandemic, imagining the kind of psychological impact that such an event can have…One of the biggest questions that the coronavirus pandemic has produced is how a period of prolonged isolation, compounded by an ambient anxiety of getting sick and a physical fear of all humans, will impact the development of children and adolescents. … Nunez is especially skilled at imagining just how strange it would be to form any kind of selfhood under these circumstances.” – The New Yorker
