Katherine May is the author of three books, most recently “Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age.”
A year into the pandemic, I realized I could no longer read.
It wasn’t a sudden occurrence. I did not read at the beginning of the crisis, because I was occupied with other things. I was busy home-schooling my son and cramming paid work into odd corners of the day, trying to muster enthusiasm for board games and feeble kitchen discos that made the dog bark in distress.
