Seventeen and a Half Minutes by Vivienne Vermes

Ten writers meet every fortnight in Paris. They each throw a piece of paper with an idea, a word, a phrase into a shower cap. They pick one at random and write, all on the same theme, for 17-and-a-half minutes. Then they read their pieces out loud. One idea: ten voices. . .sometimes funny, sometimes sad, quirky, unedited, above all. . . spontaneous. This is their work. The word they picked for this, their first podcast, was. . . what else?. . . Corona.
