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.
