“Station Eleven is so compelling, so fearlessly imagined, that I
wouldn’t have put it down for anything.” —Ann Patchett
“A superb novel . . . [that] leaves us not fearful for the end of
the word but appreciative of the grace of everyday existence.” —San
Francisco Chronicle
“Deeply melancholy, but beautifully written, and wonderfully
elegiac . . . A book that I will long remember, and return to.”
—George R. R. Martin
“Absolutely extraordinary.” —Erin Morgenstern, author of The Night
Circus
“Darkly lyrical. . . . A truly haunting book, one that is hard
to put down." —The Seattle Times
“Tender and lovely. . . . Equal parts page-turner and
poem.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Mesmerizing.” — People
“Mandel delivers a beautifully observed walk through her
book’s 21st century world…. I kept putting the book down, looking
around me, and thinking, ‘Everything is a miracle.’”—Matt Thompson,
NPR
“Magnificent.” —Booklist
“My book of the year.”—Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All
Completely Beside Ourselves
“Unmissable. . . . A literary page-turner, impeccably paced,
which celebrates the world lost.” —Vulture
“Haunting and riveting.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“Station Eleven is the kind of book that speaks to dozens of the
readers in me—the Hollywood devotee, the comic book fan, the cult
junkie, the love lover, the disaster tourist. It is a brilliant
novel, and Emily St. John Mandel is astonishing.” —Emma
Straub, author of The Vacationers
“Think of Cormac McCarthy seesawing with Joan Didion. . .
. Magnetic.” —Kirkus (starred)
“Even if you think dystopian fiction is not your thing, I urge you
to give this marvelous novel a try. . . . [An] emotional and
thoughtful story.” —Deborah Harkness, author of The Book of
Life
“It’s hard to imagine a novel more perfectly suited, in both form
and content, to this literary moment. Station Eleven, if we were to
talk about it in our usual way, would seem like a book that
combines high culture and low culture—“literary fiction” and “genre
fiction.” But those categories aren’t really adequate to describe
the book” —The New Yorker
“Audacious. . . . A book about gratitude, about life right now, if
we can live to look back on it." —Minneapolis Star-Tribune
“A surprisingly beautiful story of human relationships amid
devastation.” —The Washington Post
“Soul-quaking. . . . Mandel displays the impressive skill of
evoking both terror and empathy.” —Los Angeles Review of Books
“A genuinely unsettling dystopian novel that also allows for
moments of great tenderness. Emily St. John Mandel conjures
indelible visuals, and her writing is pure elegance.” —Patrick
deWitt, author of The Sisters Brothers
“Possibly the most captivating and thought-provoking
post-apocalyptic novel you will ever read.” —The Independent
(London)
“A firework of a novel . . . full of life and humanity and the
aftershock of memory.” —Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining
Girls
“One of the best things I’ve read on the ability of art to endure
in a good long while.” —Tobias Carroll, Electric Literature
“Will change the post-apocalyptic genre. . . . This isn’t a story
about survival, it’s a story about living.” —Boston Herald
“A big, brilliant, ambitious, genre-bending novel. . . .
Hands-down one of my favorite books of the year.” —Sarah McCarry,
Tor.com
“Strange, poetic, thrilling, and grim all at once, Station Eleven
is a prismatic tale about survival, unexpected coincidences, and
the significance of art.” —Bustle, “Best Book of the Month”
“Disturbing, inventive and exciting, Station Eleven left me wistful
for a world where I still live.” —Jessie Burton, author of The
Miniaturist
