? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

After covid-19, art centered on pandemics and diseases hits differently — and Station Eleven is no exception. The novel, written by Emily St John Mandel — who also authored popular novels like The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility — took on a life of its own after the pandemic — despite being published in 2014. Readers saw many parallels between the work of fiction and the reality mns were confronted with around the world — so much so, that the book was adapted for television. Through the novel’s timeline, we are transported back and forth between the aftermath of a devastating civilizational collapse and the years before a flu wiped out nearly all of humanity. We see the story unfold through five people connected by strange coincidences in this suspenseful book including an actor, his first wife, and others as they navigate the new realities of a world devastated by death and loss.
