Emily St. John Mandel writes literary fiction that connects people across time through art, travel, memory and systems disrupted by sudden change. Station Eleven moves between a devastating pandemic and the years before and after it, following actors, musicians and other characters linked by a comic book and a travelling Shakespeare company. The Glass Hotel centres on a fictional Ponzi scheme and the people drawn into its orbit, while Sea of Tranquility moves across centuries through a strange anomaly connecting lives in different eras. Mandel's novels are measured, atmospheric and structurally interconnected rather than conventionally plot-heavy. Her work fits literary speculative fiction, post-apocalyptic fiction and multi-strand contemporary novels. Read more Less
