Welcome back to our discussion of Emily St. John Mandel’s award-winning, best-selling contemporary novel, Station Eleven.

Topics of conversation on this first episode include:

* the winding way in which the book reveals itself

* the moral universe (and telos) that the book seems to be setting forth

* Mandel’s unique ability to craft characters which seem alive

* and much, much more.

Happy listening!
