Billy Lennon (eic of the journal) and Berlin-based writer Eric Betts discuss the latter's article: Anti-Panic: On Svetlana Alexievich's "Voices From Chernobyl." We discuss the disaster itself in relation to the covid-19 epidemic now, how people reacted then and how their actions reflect ours now with the caveat of maybe learning a new way forward, and the end of history.
