It's simultaneously an easy read because of how well-written it is, but also so hard to read in a post-2020 world where COVID fundamentally changed so many things. So much of the book was familiar; Mandel has a keen understanding of how we as a society react to things. Some of the standouts include a dedication to theater and the arts, a dedication to preservation, and relying on religion to the point of madness. All of these things were seen in our pandemic as well as in this book.
I cannot recommend it enough, and I will probably be thinking about it for a long time after reading.

I quite enjoyed this book. Emily St John Mandel is fast becoming my favourite author. I like the way she weaves her stories and ties things together with neat but emotional little bows. I quite liked how this was a little different than a standard post-apocalyptic book in that it was based more on relationships and less on the nitty-gritty of survival. I also liked how there was a lot of speculation about how people would reminisce and find different memories of technology to fixate on.

I think overall, Station Eleven shines in its ability to communicate so much depth in so many small, unexpected places. The less surface area an object has, the higher the pressure it can apply, and exponentially so-- this book is the same. It knows exactly where to pack its punches, and doing so results in a genuinely unforgettable, endlessly interpretable narrative, with a tragic but hopeful message about regret, human connection, and storytelling. I love this book; it’s a new favorite for me.
