Description

Locked Down and Other StoriesA moving collection of timely stories about enduring in a CoViD worldTen stories that capture the essence of our time, told from the perspective of young people, Locked Down is about the constraints imposed on our lives and how we learn to cope, love, pivot, study, struggle, and endure.In this collection, Zia Zaman has crafted modern, empathetic short stories about the pandemic and how the lockdown is affecting people's lives. Each story is unique and unrelated with a wide variety of voices from teenagers and young adults who chronicle their experiences throughout 2020. Some stories are set in Singapore, two in London; others are dystopian, timeless, and placeless. The stories are not about CoViD per se , but about the constraints that the lockdown introduced. Zia's previous work is broad-ranging, spanning probability, small towns in Asia, parenting special needs children, innovation culture, and hockey.
