Corona Diary

Corona: 13. March - 11. July

We will never forget it, the Corona time. But we will also not be able to remember it without rewriting it a bit. This diary is from the time when it was all taking place, day by day. No clever hindsight. Just raw fear, wild confusion and a big “well, now what?” from the first months of lockdown – told with all the humour a pandemic could wish for.

The artist, StineStregen, has earned herself lots of fans with her original, recognisable illustration style.

Synopsis

When lockdown hit us all, Corona – a big, red, talking Coronavira with small arms and a little mouth – moved in with Stine. And stayed.

Stine’s life in isolation with Corona turns into an amusing and precise day-to-day log of her (and our) mental state over the Spring and Summer of 2020. There are no grand thoughts, mainly the small, silly thoughts we all grappled with: the boredom, the worries, the longing for company…

The talking Corona that takes up all the space is a simplistic trick, but it works wonderfully in Stine’s friendly drawing-style.

When we will at some point look back at how we lived during Covid-19, Stine’s diary will be a precise and entertaining place to start.
