The volume brings together 19 short essays in the form of letters addressed to the coronavirus and written by international students , together with nine striking illustrations that depict emotive scenes from the essays, and nine academic commentaries that analytically link these personal narratives to broader societal structures. This book represents a timely intervention, providing an intimate glimpse into young peoples hopes and the challenges they face concerning their education and mobility.
