About this ebook
This novel is my homage to Boccaccio's Decameron. It has ten chapters involving ten locations with short vignettes of ten people in each location. It looks at the lives of people in pandemic San Franciscoboth private and public, and how lives interweave with other lives. The twist is that the novel is narrated by the Coronavirus itself which gives its take on the human race -- for better or worse.
