520 |a In a meditation on the psychological aftermath of catastrophe, Lifton provides an examination of life in the face of COVID-19. He draws on the life-affirming responses of survivors of atrocities such as the bombing of Hiroshima and the Nazi death camps, and shows how we can live meaningful lives even in the face of the tragic and the absurd. -- adapted from jacket
