The Mildred Complex(ity) and One Grand Books presents Nina Burleigh

on the Main Street Deck in Narrowsburg, NY

In these five reported essays on the pandemic, New York Times bestselling author Nina Burleigh weaves together key narrative strands to create an uncompromising record of what just happened to us, and why, and how understanding the story of the history behind the medical milestone of the mRNA vaccine is the first of the collective steps that can be taken to mitigate future species-wide threats.

This is the only close analysis of our pandemic year revealing how chaos capitalist profiteering, political paybacks to anti-science religious fanatics and rampant conspiracy mongering led to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.

“A fast-paced narrative that captures the spirit of our dystopian times.”
—Craig Unger, author of American Kompromat

Nina Burleigh is a national journalist and author who has written dispatches from most of the contiguous states, Italy, Africa and the Middle East, but always comes home to the Upper Delaware.
