For the first issue, Nobody chose the theme of “failure”. It is both something that is often misunderstood and something that connects us. After all, we have all failed. In these pages you’ll find glimpses of life under the pandemic, like Shimeko Frankiln’s crowd-sourced collage project Quarantine Confessions and Dean Snodgrass’s photo diary A Walk to the Garden, as well as dramas that have played out across years and generations, like the essays by Eda Yu and Andrew Ritchie. Other contributions range from New Jersey to Istanbul to a closet in Copenhagen.
