A series of excellent books is enriching our increasingly abundant documented literature on the Coronavirus.
On the one hand, confinement, on the other, illness and death and, in the end, the fear of the living and the ruin of many, has been creating a literary line of documentation on the Coronavirus pandemic that observes it from very different angles. It is not the first time that a catastrophic event provokes an overwhelming abundance of thoughts and reflections that try to penetrate the heart of the event. There is already an abundance of literary documentaries on the plague of the XXI century, as there were before in the catastrophic movie genres, the series on apocalyptic realities and the historical documentaries. But some stories are outstanding, striking, break the repetition with which some authors imitate others and make interesting contributions. (José Antonio Zarzalejos).
