The Atlantic Book Review
Joe Fassler
This is a short review of the book "Station Eleven",
and then moves into an interview with writer Emily St. John Mandel. They talk about how
having a novel that has won her so much acclaim is affecting her future work.
To sum up this review, Fassler says it best when he writes, (Mandel) "explores her own ambivalence, comparing the rush of awards and recognition with the inglorious, private struggle of writing itself". This piece really did not help me with the understanding of the book, so much as, with understanding this particular writers mind set, and views on writing.So in it's own way, it does help one understand where the writer is coming from, and why they may have written the story the way they did.
