This week's Book of the Week is the just-published collection of nineteen outstanding New Zealand graphic novelists' and comic artists' responses to the month-long lockdown with which the country eliminated Covid-19 transmission from the community. LOCKDOWN: STORIES FROM AOTEAROA presents a wide range of experiences in a wide range of graphic styles, all of which capture some aspect of our collective effort, trauma and hope, and some way in which we learned to look at our lives differently. The artists included are: Alex Cara, Hana Chatani, Li Chen, Miriama Grace-Smith, Sloane Hong, Ruby Jones, Sarah Laing, Sarah Lund, Toby Morris, Sharon Murdoch, Ross Murray, Ant Sang, Coco Solid, Anthony Stocking (Deadface Comics), Mat Tait, Jessica Thompson Carr (Māori Mermaid), Zak Waipara, Tokerau Wilson, and Jem Yoshioka.
