What The Reviewers Say

Emily Balcetis,
The Washington Post
Saslow awakens our psychological immune system. He gets us to feel again.
Andrew Demillo,
The Associated Press
Voices from the Pandemic offers numerous examples of the heartbreaking, infuriating and even inspiring ways COVID-19 has changed our world.

Kirkus
Presented one after the other, and uninterrupted, their stories do more than provide a patchwork portrait of the country: They also help correct the notion that, whatever your personal experience of the pandemic might have been, it was the only one.

Publishers Weekly
... [a] fascinating oral history.
