By Brian Swann *70

Published Dec. 19, 2023

In this new fiction collection, Swann captures the eeriness and uncertainty the world experienced during the onset of the pandemic. He vividly describes a series of memories — from empty Manhattan streets to the experience of sheltering in place. With melodic prose Ya-Honk! (Madhat Press) reads like dystopian sci-fi literature, all while recounting the surreal events of the pandemic.
