Endnote Christopher Nosnibor

In the moment, this present moment - a moment which has been held, suspended, stretched out for what feels like an eternity - the prospect of closure feels impossible. The prospect of a return to normality is as terrifying as the prospect of never returning, of never fully rebuilding the connections with friends and society more broadly. And in considering this, I've become quite intrigued by the psychology of lockdown, the effects of this enforced separation mentally and behaviourally. Following on from Covoid Cut-Ups, which saw the author delve into the obfuscating language of the British government, Nosnibor ventures inwards to explore what he refers to as the 'psychological spasm' of life in lockdown, in a quest to uncover the universal within the personal.
