Reliving 2020 through fiction

Leah De Forest, an instructor at Harvard Extension School, is releasing a debut novel that explores the early days of the COVID-nineteen pandemic. As the Harvard Gazette tells it, the book, titled "Any Kind of Known Tomorrow," follows three generations of women and a teenage guest navigating the tensions of a New York City lockdown. De Forest says the story is part of a growing subgenre of fiction helping people process the isolation and uncertainty of that period. The novel is scheduled for release on September fifteenth.
