Twenty-seven seasons in, Talking Volumes — presented by MPR News and the Minnesota Star Tribune — remains one of the region’s most anticipated literary event series. This fall, five bestselling authors sit down with award-winning journalists Kerri Miller and Catharine Richert for deep conversations about their books, their lives, and the ideas shaping our world. And we’ll do it all in a welcoming new home: The O’Shaughnessy Auditorium at St. Catherine University.Join Talking Volumes for a riveting evening with Emily St. John Mandel, the acclaimed author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility, as she discusses Exit Party, her dazzling new novel of doubles, fractured timelines, and lives transformed by a single uncanny night. Set in a near-future Los Angeles emerging from collapse, the story begins at a glittering party where reality suddenly slips: a host disappears, a stranger appears, and nothing feels certain again. With her signature blend of literary elegance, suspense, and speculative imagination, Mandel delivers a mind-bending story of art, survival, freedom, and the hidden forces shaping our world. Don’t miss the chance to hear one of today’s most celebrated novelists in conversation at The O’Shaughnessy Auditorium for what promises to be one of the season’s most thought-provoking and unforgettable events.
