| Sumario: | This paper aims to show what literature can provide readers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Authors such as Toshimitsu and Cordás (LITERATURA E PANDEMIA: PERDEMOS O DIREITO À FABULAÇÃO?, 2020) show the importance of fabulation, and Koch (2009) presents the relevance of the writing itself. Firstly, we show a brief survey of what various fields of the arts have produced about epidemics and pandemics. After that, we make considerations of the most recent textual productions. One can think that the change of habits encouraged the emergence of new and already known writers to produce texts about the pandemic, supplying a demand that seeks to know what has been done in the “heat of the moment”. As in other times, it is necessary to report the recent calamity because the sciences, despite their peculiarities, may have much in common with each other. |
