Welcome to a new series here on Close Reads, in which we’re digging into Emily St. John Mandel’s award-winning, best-selling contemporary novel, Station Eleven, a book which became eerily prescient during peak Covid days. Topics of conversation on this first episode include:
the experience of reading a book which fictionalized events which almost seemed to actually have happened (sort of) . . .
why this novel was so popular (including during Covid lockdowns)
the parallels between the events of the play within the book and the events of the book itself
and much more
Happy listening!
