Award-winning and national bestselling author Emily St. John Mandel will share her story and inspiration for writing Station Eleven in this special free and open to the public presentation.
Known for its unique take on aspects of a post-apocalyptic world, her novel is also a celebration of the art and culture that unites us as a human race. She will speak about why she chose to use things like Shakespeare plays, comic books, and museums as central plot devices in her book, as well as offer her thoughts about how her novel reflects hope in the ways that humanity can bond together, even in the face of extreme adversity and hardship. She will also answer questions from the audience and sign autographs on a select number of Station Eleven copies.
