How can fiction help us process the uncertainty and isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic?

Harvard Extension School instructor and academic advisor Leah De Forest spoke with the Harvard Gazette about her upcoming debut novel, Any Kind of Known Tomorrow. Set during the early days of the pandemic, the novel follows four women sharing a New York City apartment as they navigate uncertainty, family relationships, and the different ways people respond to crisis.

“The books I love the most show me something that I recognize in the world and maybe haven’t fully articulated for myself yet,” De Forest shares.
