"With Peter Glanting's powerful illustrations, author Adam Bessie, an English professor and graphic essayist, uses the unique historical moment of the COVID-19 pandemic as a catalyst to explore the existing inequalities and student struggles that plague the public education system. This graphic memoir chronicles the reverberations from the onset of the pandemic in 2020 when students and educators left their physical classrooms for remote learning. As a professor at a community college, Bessie shows how despite these challenges, teachers work tirelessly to create a more equitable educational system by responding to mental health issues and student needs. From the Black Lives Matter protests to fielding distressed emails from students to considering the future of his own career, Going Remote also tells the personal story of Bessie's cancer diagnosis and treatment during the pandemic. A fusion of memoir, meditation, and scholarship, Going Remote is a powerful account of a crisis moment in educational history demonstrating both personal and societal changes. Includes back matter revealing the literary and theoretical touchpoints that inform Going Remote (works by Octavia Butler, Neil Postman, Jaron Lanier, and Diane Ravitch). Going Remote is a joint production of The Censored Press and Seven Stories Press"--… (meer)

A community college professor recounts his experience with remote schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. On top of that, he has an ongoing struggle with cancer.
So, yeah, a real downer. Proceed with caution.
The art didn't do much for me, and I found the writing pretty dull as Bessie waxes philosophical and a bit poetic -- practically writing an ode to community colleges at times -- and touches without much impact upon related subjects like classism and racism. His perspective just did little for me. The only moments I slightly engaged with the book were when he tied remote learning and the pandemic into the classic science fiction novels he was teaching at the time. ( )

I didn't know if I'd ever set foot here again. I wasn't just walking back on campus for the first time in eight months . . . I was walking back into a part of myself . . . A part of myself . . . I'd thought might be gone.

I don't have any idea what happens next. But right now, in this moment, it doesn't matter. We went remote. And right now, we're here.
