A review by apollosmichioreads
In the Year of the Virus by Eko (Jia He Yi), Felix Cheong

4.0

In the Year of the Virus is a very short book that accompanies poems by local author Felix Cheong with beautiful illustrations by illustrator Eko. These poems are all related to Covid-19 in one way or another and capture the widespread emotions and feelings we have regarding this life-changing pandemic.

Although the book is really short and can be read in literally less than five minutes, it is a book that can be revisited and pondered upon over time. I enjoyed reading and interpreting the author’s poems in my own way and looking at the evocative illustrations. A meaningful and retrospective read!

4/5
