Lockdown Chronicles

Lockdown Chronicles: A Journey through Memory comprises a collection of letters exchanged during the pandemic lockdown in the USA between two distinguished Cameroonians: the celebrated interdisciplinary scholar, poet, and professor, Dr. Joyce Ashuntantang, and the accomplished international communication expert, Mr. Eric Chinje. Their heartfelt correspondence, spanning over a year, grapples with profound existential questions about the place of religion in their lives and the overarching question of human purpose on earth. However, what will stay with the reader are fragments of their personal life stories, which drip from memory as they cope with the boredom, stress, and anxiety brought about by the pandemic. These intimate glimpses into their lives create a rich tapestry of experiences, emotions, and reflections, making Lockdown Chronicles a poignant book and a shared journey of discovery and resilience.
