Abstract

The essay proposes the analysis of some stories included in the digital collection Relatos de Confinamiento, published on the internet page of the Catalan newspaper La Vanguardia between March and April 2020. The stories, of about 2-3 pages in length, composed by contributors to the newspaper, utilize the pandemic experience about COVID-2019 in a creative way and reflect on the typical circumstances of the first wave and the period of confinement. After a brief introduction to the project, the chapter offers a critical analysis of selected texts focusing on the following topics: isolation and loneliness, isolation and fear, isolation and dystopia.
