A chronicler of the banal, I was just soaking up glorious normality in Luang Prabang, Laos, when Covid struck. Thinking it was just some freakish, short-term phenomenon, I chased it to the Chinese border, then South Korea. Locked out of Vietnam, I had to keep moving, however, so ended up in Serbia, Lebanon, Egypt, Albania, South Africa and Namibia, etc. Written from three continents, this book records life during this most extraordinary time, with reflections on Covid, the Great Reset, Jewjabs and our ominous future.
