The latest issue of The New Yorker features “April 15th, 2020,” a kaleidoscopic account of a single day in New York, which has become an epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic. In it, dozens of the magazine’s writers and contributors capture snapshots of life—on the streets, on fire escapes and tugboats, and in hospitals, apartments, attics, and subways. The result is a fractal portrait of the city, and Chris Ware’s cover is a fitting complement.
