Station Eleven
by Emily St. John Mandel
One snowy night a famous
Hollywood actor slumps
over and dies onstage dur-
ing a production of King
Lear. Hours later, the world
as we know it begins to
dissolve. Moving back and
forth in time-from the
actor's early days as a film
star to fifteen years in the
future, when a theater
troupe known as the
Traveling Symphony roams
the wasteland of what
remains-this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel
charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people.
Copies of the book are available in the Center office courtesy of the library.
