Recenzii

A devastating analysis ... Wright is a master of knitting together complex narratives ...A story about hubris and division, complacency and insularity, but most of all precariousness.
In hischaracteristically rigorous and engrossing style, Wright documents innumerable episodes of ineptitude and malfeasance ...Maddening and sobering - as comprehensive an account of the first year of the pandemic as we've yet seen.
A virtuoso feat... [Wright has] given us a book ofpanoramic breadth, [ranging] from science to politics to economics to culture with a commanding scrutiny, managing to surprise us about even those episodes we have only recently lived through and thought we knew well. The story he tells isimmediate and often piercingly intimate... Wright's storytelling dexterity makes all this come alive.
Arresting, lean-limbed, immersive ...Rich with peerless reportage and incisive critique... Translates the complexities of epidemiology into plain English ...Wright is at his commanding best.
Insightful ... Indispensable as a coronavirus compendium.Very little escapes Wright's notice, and he is adept at placing the ongoing story in an enlightening context.
Taut, thriller-like,The Plague Yearcaptures the chaos and courage of this unprecedented era that's forever changed us.
By far the best book yet on COVID-19... [An] exemplary chronicle [with] countless examples of hope, sacrifice, and heroic feats. Wright's interviews with experts in virology, economics, public health, history, politics, and medicine are enlightening ...Wright is at his finest herein frontline research, expert analysis, and lucid writing.
[An] incredibly-crafted telling... [Wright] is an earnest prober, with sober-minded curiosity ... [He] provides a well-wrought map covering the institutions and politicians that failed America during this stretch of the pandemic [and] crucially highlights those that also saved us - the first responders and the reasonable.
