Friday is Tomorrow, or The Dayenu Year: Chronicles from the NYC Covid-19 Oral History, Narrative and Memory Archive (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985189834)

NOTE: ALL GRAPHICS ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE

Friday is Tomorrow, or The Dayenu Year is a true story of learning to grieve and thrive during the first year of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Within the first month of the lock-down, the author loses his father to the disease and then, soon after, his job.

Through the support of his family, friends, and community, Friday is Tomorrow tells the uplifting story of how one man learns to maintain traditions in a time of uncertainty while reaching for his dreams.

At times moving, at times humorous, the ups and downs of this New Yorker were originally penned (quite literally, with a physical pen) for Columbia University's NYC Covid-19 Oral History, Narrative and Memory Archive. Edited together for the first time, Friday is Tomorrow is more than just an opportunity to read one person's struggle with the world wrought by the recent pandemic.

It is an invitation to take the time and space you need to consider and better understand your own story.

In this edition of the book you will find:

• Topics explored include mourning, family, community, career reinvention, a house hunt, public schools, the Presidential election, the Girl Scouts, and more.
