Description

The tenth issue of a digital journal created to alleviate the malaise of social distancing with exceptional writing and artwork.

The Quarantine Review celebrates literature and art, connecting readers through reflections on the human condition — our lived experiences, afflictions, and dreams. As we face a pandemic with profound implications, the essays within offer a variety of perspectives on the current predicament, encouraging readers to reflect on the world we knew before and contemplate how society can be reshaped once we emerge. Through The Quarantine Review, Dupuis and Sarfraz hope to give voice to the swirling emotions inside each of us during this unprecedented moment, to create a circuit of empathy between the reader, the work itself, and the wider world beyond the walls of our homes.

This issue is an homage to pulp fiction, featuring the work of David Barrick, Diana Fitzgerald Bryden, Maureen Hynes, Shaun Jex, Mike Lee, Keriann McGoogan, Jeff Parent, A.G. Pasquella, H.C. Phillips, Todd Sullivan, Ishmael A. Soledad, and Daniel Wade.
