Station Eleven: Emily St John Mandel “Meaning in a post-pandemic world”

$45.00

In Emily St John Mandel’s novel, Station Eleven, the post-pandemic, flightless world is eerily prescient. The sense of radical social and economic disruption is not unlike our own COVID-stricken landscape. However, the post-Georgian flu world is one without electricity and without internet.

It is a world characterised by absence and emptiness, loss and sadness; it is about killing and being killed; hunting or dying. It is about pain and loss, regrets, love and comfort. 

(ISBN: 978-0-9808397-4-6) In this 40-page collection of notes, summaries, themes and characters, I also include a comprehensive set of notes, quotes, examples and comments that you can use to write six essays. These relate to the role of art, to meaning, to beauty, to fame, to memories, and to narrative perspectives.
