Cabin Fever with Aruna D'Souza

I am a writer who is happiest working at my desk, alone, in my house in western Massachusetts, but has to take regular trips to New York City and further afield in order to know what to write about. Before March it felt like I was traveling all the time, always on planes, always in hotels. I was burned out. For me, beyond the inevitable anxiety that came from worrying for my health and the health of those I love (and those who I don’t even know), quarantine has been a kind of blessing—a forced time out.
