The Plague Year: America in the Time of Covid

★ Amazon – Best Nonfiction Books of the Year

Focused on america in the Time of Covid, The Plague Year brings Lawrence Wright's political study to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of medical and political science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
