How You Feeling?: A Long-Hauler's Journey

by David Stahler Jr.

Most think of the aftermath of COVID infection in binary terms--recovery or death. But for many, the virus can lead to weeks or even months of prolonged suffering from a range of lingering symptoms. They are the long-haulers, and their story is only beginning to be told. In this deftly crafted long-form essay, novelist David Stahler Jr. chronicles his experience living through a presumed coronavirus infection and the extended physical and emotional toll that followed in its wake. A poignant read for those looking to better understand the potential consequences of this little-understood illness, or for long-haulers seeking affirmation that they are not alone.
