Acclaimed author Emily St. John Mandel’s National Book Award nominated novel about art, fame, and ambition is set in the eerie days of civilization's collapse. One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time as a Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains, this spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people. Station Eleven tells a story about the relationships that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it. Beth Beloff leads.
