We are thrilled to be welcoming bestselling author Emily St John Mandel to Charlottetown for the launch of her new book Exit Party. We hope you can join us on Thursday, October 22nd at 7 pm in the Florence Simmons Performance Hall for a not-to-be missed evening of books and conversation moderated by Island author Caitlyn Paxson. If you joined our virtual event for the launch of The Glass Hotel, you already know how wonderful this event is going to be. Tickets are available on Bookmark’s website: bookmarkreadsdotcaThe award-winning, bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility returns with a breathtaking novel of doubles, shadow worlds, and fractured timelines. Emily St. John Mandel unfurls a story that takes us from a future America splintered by civil war to the seaside cliffs of Greece where weapons dealers hide in an elegant resort, and from the domed city of Paris to a colony on the moon. An unforgettable literary feat, Exit Party is a novel about the price of safety, the perils of the surveillance state, a requiem for a world not unlike our own, and a breathtaking story of resilience in the face of cataclysmic change.
EMILY ST. JOHN MANDEL is the author of six previous novels, including Sea of Tranquility, The Glass Hotel, which was shortlisted for the Giller Prize, and Station Eleven, which was a finalist for a National Book Award and was included in the New York Times Best 100 Books of the 21st Century list. Her work has been translated into thirty-seven languages and adapted for television, including the Station Eleven series and the recently announced Exit Party series, which Emily will be a co-showrunner.
CAITLYN PAXSON is the author of A Widow’s Charm. She has a degree in writing and cultural history and has been employed as the artistic director of storytelling performances, a book reviewer, and a nineteenth century jack-of-all-trades. She works as a historical interpreter for the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation. You might know her from programs like The Haunting of Yeo House, The Beaconsfield Seance, In the Time of Maud at Orwell Corner Historic Village, and other immersive historic programs.
