That Other Plague: A Novella

By Joseph F Delgado and Joseph F. Delgado

What if they gave a plague and only men came? A mysterious plague hits the southeastern United States. No one can determine its origin, and no cure is available. Only men experience symptoms: severe hypothermia, frostbite, blurred vision, and confusion. As epidemiologists treat the afflicted and public-health researchers investigate the cause, an astonishing fact emerges about the victims of the illness. The malady has a social impact that nobody could have foreseen. Joseph F. Delgado is the author of the novels OUR FATHER TAKES A BRIDE and THE TANGO OF THE SHIPWRECK, as well as the short-story collections MAN OF HIS DREAMS and LIVING IN THE RAW WIND. His nonfiction includes METAPHOR AND CHANGE and THE EVIL BANALITY OF RACISM. His drama CRUSHED AT THE CROSSING was a finalist in the 2019 Downtown Urban Arts Festival in New York.
