Description
xBaricco reflects on the pandemic: beyond the health figures a mythical creature emerges that expresses fear and changes... Baricco understands the pandemic as something more than a health emergency: as a mythical creature, a collective construction (very real: there is no denial here) with which humans say something urgent and vital to organize their anxieties and beliefs. The virus as an undemocratic entity that strengthens the powerful and destroys the poor. The pandemic as a battle between fear and bravery, tendency for change and longing for the past. A lucid analysis, nothing obvious.
