Attend 'An Evening with Emily St. John Mandel' April 12 at Library Center
April 4, 2018 —
International best-selling author Emily St. John Mandel sits down with Community Relations Director Kathleen O’Dell from 7-9 p.m. on Thursday, April 12, in the Library Center auditorium, for an interview-style discussion of her writing and the major themes of “Station Eleven.” Copies of her book will be available for purchase and signing after the event.
Mandel says her dystopian novel combines her interest in theater and its devoted actors; her appreciation for the everyday conveniences of modern life and the question: What would we do in their absence?

Her previous novels were "Last Night in Montreal," "The Singer's Gun" and "The Lola Quartet." She is a staff writer for The Millions, and her work has appeared in numerous anthologies.
