Book Discussion "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel

Our book for August is Station Eleven by Canadian novelist Emily St. John Mandel.

From Amazon:
Set in the eerie days of civilization’s collapse—the spellbinding story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity.

“It’s hard to imagine a novel more perfectly suited, in both form and content, to this literary moment. Station Eleven, if we were to talk about it in our usual way, would seem like a book that combines high culture and low culture – “literary fiction” and “genre fiction.” But those categories aren’t really adequate to describe the book” – The New Yorker

“Strange, poetic, thrilling, and grim all at once, Station Eleven is a prismatic tale about survival, unexpected coincidences, and the significance of art.” – Bustle
