Exit Party
Emily St. John Mandel in conversation with Rachel Khong
Co-presented with Skylight Books
Join a discussion about the highly-anticipated latest novel from Emily St. John Mandel, whose books have captivated audiences since Station Eleven.
Exit Party is a novel of dualities, of timelines, of a near-future that feels uncannily familiar: a 2031 marked by civil war alongside blooming jacarandas, and bomb-sniffing dogs en route to parties in Silver Lake.
In what promises to be one of her best, Mandel’s latest has already been lauded as a “glittering puzzle box” (Kirkus Reviews), “a jewel of a book” (Literary Hub), “a hymn to what falls when the center doesn’t hold” (Library Journal). Explore this brave new world with her.
