Baricco understands the pandemic as something more than a health emergency: as a mythical creature, a collective construction (very real: there is no denial here) with which humans tell themselves something urgent and vital to organize their anguish and beliefs. The virus as an undemocratic entity that strengthens the powerful and destroys the poor. The pandemic as a battle between fear and audacity, propensity for change and nostalgia for the past. A lucid analysis, nothing obvious.
