Narrated by the outspoken, hard-nosed female superintendent of the building, this extraordinary and surprising story unfolds across the fourteen days of a Covid-19 quarantine, as neighbors of a rundown Lower Manhattan apartment building come together to make sense of their circumstances and of themselves. As a pandemic sweeps the globe and New York locks down in March of 2020, the rich quickly flee the city for the relative safety of their country homes. For the “left-behinds,” a group of residents in a rundown Lower Manhattan apartment building, the only fresh air to be found is on the rooftop, where the tenants begin gathering every night. At first, they cheer at seven p.m. for the essential workers, then immediately retreat to their phones and books, private and prickly as any self-respecting New Yorkers. But little by little, they start to open up—and to tell their stories. With each unfolding story written anonymously by a different major literary figure—from Celeste Ng and Tommy Orange to Diana Gabaldon and John Grisham—Fourteen Days is a dazzling, heartwarming, and page-turning delight, a celebration of diversity in all its forms, and a collaborative literary experiment like no other.
