Abstract

Covid-19 fiction tends to exhibit the potential of literary discourse as an ecological force. Illuminated by cultural ecology, the essay puts Fang Fang’s Wuhan Diary into conversation with Aristide’s Under the Blue, Bi’s Coronavirus, and Smith’s Intimations, deploying texts from both Chinese and English contexts for a comparative global perspective.
