One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time-from the actor's early days as a film star to fifteen years in the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains-this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet. Sometimes terrifying, sometimes tender, Station Eleven tells a story about the relationships that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it.… (més)

a story set in the first few years after a deadly flu variant caused the swift and sudden end of civilization (starting from the night the virus first landed in north america). i believe this was first published around 2015 and caused a sensation, and its easy to see why. however, reading it for the first time in the post-COVID era ups its sense of surreal-ness, in ways i dont think the author originally intended. its sometimes creepy, sometimes ominous, sometimes downright upsetting. i'll have to read this again some time (perhaps after reading King Lear). ( )

Fabulous.
Quite terrifying in this pandemic time but a tale of a society broken down after the invasion of a fast-killing virus. The characters who survive the first sweep struggle through loss of everything of modern life, live through fear and cold and attachment and loss. Every single character in this book becomes someone you care for.

Years ago after SARS1 flew about Toronto, I was part of “pandemic planning”, a round table discussion that played like a war game. We’d postulate around fatality rates, around what we would/could do as people died around us. It occurred to us fairly early on that a fatality rate of anything over 30% would lead to total societal collapse.

In this book the fatality rate is more like 99%.

The actual deaths are passed over lightly; we are not treated to anything other than mentions of smells, for which I was grateful. The dead have a presence in the book; you sense their weight.

The author ties several story lines in together in a way which could seem contrived but doesn’t because of her skill. It all seems possible. And the relationships between the people open a glimmer of hope.

I’ll be reading more of her work, and soon.

Man this is a beautifully written book which is why I finished it. She can string words together with a lyrical joy. However, the plot just doesn’t work for me. I didn’t buy the pandemic collapse at all. It felt tacked on so she could write a cool story about a traveling Shakespeare troupe. The plot logic was so jarring in some places that it interfered with my ability to totally immerse myself in the story. ( )

This was a fantastic book. So original and all character arcs and storylines tied up nicely. Beautiful ending. Better than 5 stars. ( )

Station Eleven is not so much about apocalypse as about memory and loss, nostalgia and yearning; the effort of art to deepen our fleeting impressions of the world and bolster our solitude. Mandel evokes the weary feeling of life slipping away, for Arthur as an individual and then writ large upon the entire world.
afegit per zhejw | editaThe Guardian, Justine Jordan (Sep 25, 2014)
 
Survival may indeed be insufficient, but does it follow that our love of art can save us? If “Station Eleven” reveals little insight into the effects of extreme terror and misery on humanity, it offers comfort and hope to those who believe, or want to believe, that doomsday can be survived, that in spite of everything people will remain good at heart, and that when they start building a new world they will want what was best about the old.
afegit per zhejw | editaNew York Times, Sigrid Nunez (Sep 12, 2014)
 
Mandel’s solid writing and magnetic narrative make for a strong combination in what should be a breakout novel.

The bright side of the planet moves toward darkness
And the cities are falling asleep, each in its hour,
And for me, now as then, it is too much.
There is too much world.
