Caught in the COVID pandemic lockdowns, Not Today: Undoing Home Repairs is a daily record between January 16 and June 26, 2021. The author starts a lockdown diary with the premise that she will never lose track of time again. As time moves on, she beings documenting anything and everything that happens in the day, from little things like her dinner menu to catastrophic things like the COVID-19 case load. As the lockdown stretches on, the swirl of Margarida’s thoughts become claustrophobic and labyrinthine. A dense and beautiful debut work that questions what is, and what is to come.

"Not Today: Undoing Home Repairs by Ana Margarida Matos cuts and builds narratives which we may feel compelled to nest ourselves in. As its pages get us further along, we are forced to question, who is it who lives in our homes? What makes our days mean something? Who gets to question what it means to be? A beautiful, slippery work which defies easy description and leaves you turning it over in your head long after it's finished." — Bhanu Pratap, Creator of Dear Mother and Other Stories
