Fourteen Days is a unique novel in short stories, created by 36 authors, edited by such recognized masters as Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston, and with the support of the Writers Guild of America. The book is called an event in the world of literature - it is a kind of puzzle, reminiscent of the great experimental novel by Georges Perec, Life, a Method of Using It. Among the participants in the grand project, in addition to those already named, is a whole constellation of brilliant names: Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Dave Eggers, Celeste Ng, Emma Donoghue and others. The virus invasion in 2020 sowed no less panic than in the Middle Ages. There were those who, like the heroes of The Decameron, fled from big cities, and some had nowhere to run and had to self-isolate within four walls. Frightened by the lockdown, residents of a New York high-rise go out onto the roof at night to tell and listen to stories. Someone recalls a chilling encounter with a ghost, someone is inspired to read Marina Tsvetaeva's poems, and this neighbor talks about how to teach warring rabbits to get along with each other... More and more people come to impromptu meetings, unaware that each story is secretly recorded by one of those present and accompanied by a commentary. How will all these conversations end?..
