Station Eleven
by Emily St. John Mandel
Station Eleven is a post-pandemic literary novel less interested in collapse than in what survives it. Fifteen years after a flu empties the world, a troupe of actors and musicians walks the ruined Great Lakes performing Shakespeare. Emily St. John Mandel writes elegy more than action, for readers who want meaning over menace.
