Literature has played an important role during the COVID-19 crisis. During confinement, the percentage of regular readers rose to a historic high, and a host of projects to restore the literary word to public life have been initiated. Meanwhile, some thinkers and writers have warned of the difficulty of thinking about a future we have not imagined. What effect will the pandemic have on literary creation in the coming years? How can the word help us to escape from the loop of the present in which we are living?
