This week, Stephanie tries again to help Hannah see the popular appeal of author Jodi Picoult by assigning her friend to read the novel Wish You Were Here. Will Hannah simply wish she was reading something else?  Diana lives and works in New York City in March of 2020. She and her boyfriend Finn, who is a surgical resident at an NYC hospital, have been planning a vacation to the Galapagos Islands for months, but when the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic begin to affect the city’s hospitals, Finn tells her she should take the trip alone. What neither of them knew was that Diana would get stuck on a remote island during quarantine, or just how much the experience would change them both. Join Stephanie and Hannah this week as they discuss one of the first popular novels to center around our recent pandemic and speculate about what writing and art will look like in a post-Covid world.  Resources:  https://www.theatlantic.com/video/archive/2020/05/icu-delirium/611155/ Support this show by subscribing and leaving a review!  You can support us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/hatethisbookpod  Follow us on Twitter and Instagram  Write to us at [email protected] Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
