Welcome back to our discussion of Emily St. John Mandel’s award-winning, best-selling contemporary novel, Station Eleven.

Topics of conversation on this first episode include:

the winding way in which the book reveals itself
the moral universe (and telos) that the book seems to be setting forth
Mandel’s unique ability to craft characters which seem alive
and much, much more.

Happy listening!

Close Reads Podcast

Close Reads is a book-club podcast for the incurable reader co-hosted by David Kern, Heidi White, Sean Johnson, and occasionally Tim McIntosh. We read good books and talk about them.

This is a show for amateurs in the best sense. This is not an experts show: we’re book lovers, book enthusiasts. Our goal is have empathetic and intelligent conversations about good books.

Close Reads is produced by Goldberry Studios, the podcast wing of Goldberry Books, a family-run indie bookshop in Concord, NC.
