“Dear Eula Biss” by Jazmina Barrera | Make Lit
“I had a panic attack while reading your book. On January 24th, 2020, one day after China closed all access to the city of Wuhan and four days after the first cases of COVID-19 were detected in the United States, we boarded a flight from Baltimore to Mexico City.
