A pandemic-related lockdown tests the residents of an apartment building in this nicely considered outing from Pistelli... This thought-provoking exploration of quarantine life offers plenty of tension. (Publishers Weekly)

A global pandemic has America under quarantine. In a run-down apartment building, with nowhere to go and nothing to do, five people-a philosopher, an academic, a filmmaker, a sculptor, and a philanthropist-come together, at first only for the pleasure of company. Then they find themselves in a ferocious debate about the obsessions that drive their lives and a ruthless quest to discover the secrets that brought them together. Their passions and betrayals play out against the dangerous backdrop of a state-enforced lockdown and a disease that can strike anyone at any time. The eventually explosive conflicts among these poor artists, underfed intellectuals, and desperate fanatics pose urgent questions of art and inequality, health and freedom, faith and power, love and death. The first work of long-form fiction to emerge from the events of 2020, The Quarantine of St. Sebastian House is a fresh narrative for a new era.
