Hi, this is a long time coming. I've had long covid for over a year
now, and have been writing almost
daily about it - this book is the result.
Apologies for the mass mailing -
Best, Alan
Alan Sondheim caught COVID-19 in late August 2023, and was violently ill for
over a week; after that,
his condition descended into long Covid. The result has seen an array of phy
sical and mental problems,
such as fatigue, visual disturbances, and, oddly, his nail growth slowing to
almost nothing.
Sondheim began writing a series of texts throughout this period, mostly typi
ng with his eyes closed,
and keeping the errors in; Sondheim intended to focus on content and ignore the
'burden' of sight, the physical part most affected by long Covid,which brings so
much else into
play. In other words, Haptic, Covid, Philosophy is a form of meditation.
