Some of the most influential and beloved novels of the last few years have been about money, finance, and the global economy. Some overtly so, others more subtly. It got to the point where we just had to call up the authors to find out more: What brought them into this world? What did they learn? How were they thinking about economics when they wrote these beautiful books? Today on the show: we get to the bottom of it. We talk to three bestselling contemporary novelists — Min Jin Lee (Pachinko and Free Food for Millionaires), Emily St. John Mandel (Station Eleven, The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility), and Hernan Diaz (Trust, In the Distance) – about how the hidden forces of economics and money have shaped their works.This episode was hosted by Mary Childs and Alexi Horowitz-Ghazi.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

Bestselling author of Station Eleven, Emily St. John Mandel, talks to The Lambert Center's Jason Blitman as her final event for the paperback release of her latest novel, Sea of Tranquility. They also talk about why we're drawn to post-apocalyptic fiction, what it's like imagining the future of our world, and what she's working on next. Emily St. John Mandel's five previous novels include The Glass Hotel, which has been translated into 25 languages, and Station Eleven, which was a finalist for a National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, was the basis of a limited series on HBO Max, and has been translated into 37 languages. She lives in New York City and Los Angeles.
Teri, Anne, and Ethan discuss books with a strong sense of place. Books discussed: The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton The Fifth Petal by Brunonia Barry Other books mentioned: Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan, The Visitors by Sally Beauman, Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, and Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe.
Anna is joined by Emily St John Mandel, author of novels including Station Eleven, The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility. Emily chose Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising although as she hasn't revisited it as an adult this is a wonderfully free-ranging conversation about the perils of revisiting old favourites, experience magic through the eyes of a child and how to get divorced on Wikipedia.You can find all the books mentioned on Bookshop: https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/bookwandering-the-podcastNew episodes on Wednesdays.

Edwin St. Andrew is eighteen years old when he crosses the Atlantic by steamship, exiled from polite society following an ill-conceived diatribe at a dinner party. He enters the forest, spellbound by the beauty of the Canadian wilderness, and suddenly hears the notes of a violin echoing in an airship terminal—an experience that shocks him to his core. Two centuries later a famous writer named Olive Llewellyn is on a book tour. She's traveling all over Earth, but her home is the second moon colony, a place of white stone, spired towers, and artificial beauty. Within the text of Olive's best-selling pandemic novel lies a strange passage: a man plays his violin for change in the echoing corridor of an airship terminal as the trees of a forest rise around him. When Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, a detective in the black-skied Night City, is hired to investigate an anomaly in the North American wilderness, he uncovers a series of lives upended: The exiled son of an earl driven to madness, a writer trapped far from home as a pandemic ravages Earth, and a childhood friend from the Night City who, like Gaspery himself, has glimpsed the chance to do something extraordinary that will disrupt the timeline of the universe.A virtuoso performance that is as human and tender as it is intellectually playful, Sea of Tranquility is a novel of time travel and metaphysics that precisely captures the reality of our current moment.Emily St. John Mandel's five previous novels include The Glass Hotel, which has been translated into twenty-five languages, and Station Eleven, which was a finalist for a National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, was the basis of a limited series on HBO Max, and has been translated into thirty-seven languages. She lives in New York City and Los Angeles. Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9780593466735

In conversation with Laura McGrath, Assistant Professor of English at Temple University A ''soul-quaking'' (Los Angeles Review of Books) meditation on the everyday miracles we take for granted set amongst the travels and travails of a Shakespearean acting troupe in the years following a global plague, Emily St. John Mandel's bestselling Station 11 was a finalist for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award. Her other novels include Last Night in Montreal, The Singer's Gun, and The Glass Hotel, included by Barack Obama on his 2022 summer reading list. Mandel is also a staff writer for art and culture magazine The Millions. Peripherally set in the same universe as Station 11 and The Glass Hotel, Sea of Tranquility follows interconnected time-hopping characters seeking love and metaphysical truth in such far-flung locales as the wilderness of 19th century British Columbia and the domed cities of the 25th century lunar surface.

Her novel, “Sea of Tranquility,” is a sequel of sorts to her hit 2014 book, “Station Eleven.” Guest: Emily St. John Mandel is the best-selling author of five novels, including “Station Eleven” and “The Glass Hotel.” In 2022, she released the best seller, “Sea of Tranquility.” To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.

I review two novels by current Canadian literary stars Emily St. John Mandel and Heather O'Neill. Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel is a science fiction novel about art, time, travel, love and plague that takes readers from 1912 Vancouver Island to a dark colony of the moon 500 years later. The author also incorporates references to her earlier award-winning novels Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel.When We Lost Our Heads by Heather O'Neill is a historical fiction, satirical novel about 19th-century Montreal. It takes readers into the brutality of factory life and the opulent lives of Montreal's wealthy while exploring sex, desire and class.Books and Resources Discussed:Significant Others, podcastBorgen, NetflixDicte, Prime VideoSea Tranquility by Emily St. John MandelWhen We Lost Our Heads by Heather O'NeillStation Eleven by Emily St. John MandelStation Eleven, HBOThe Glass Hotel by Emily St. John MandelCloud Atlas by David MitchellNever Let Me Go by Kazuo IshiguroHeavenly Creatures, movie (1994)The Virgin Cure by Ami McKayFollow Red Fern Book Review:Website and to leave a voicemail: https://www.redfernbookreview.comInstagram: @redfernbookreviewFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/redfernbookreview/Newsletter: https://www.redfernbookreview.com/newsletter

Who wants to know what The Shuffle Man knows? The playful and surreal British musician and songwriter Robyn Hitchcock does. His latest batch of songs, 'Shufflemania!', is primed for the sub-personalities within - feathery serpent god, the shuffle man, vampire, scorpio tv detective. Robyn's love of trams and Raymond Chandler are steady, as is his ability to balance the inane and the poignant in lyrics musing about inner lives, vegan casserole, crawling fish, hemlock-drinking, and the inevitability of death. Robyn Hitchcock plays songs from his latest, and a tune from his vast back catalogue, in-studio. - Caryn Havlik Set: "The Shuffle Man", "Noirer than Noir", "The Man Who Loves the Rain", "Glass Hotel" Watch "The Shuffle Man": Watch "Noirer Then Noir": Watch "The Man Who Loves the Rain": Watch "Glass Hotel":

Lisa talks about her book blunder with The Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel, a book she read without knowing it's considered a sequel to The Glass Hotel. Some reviewers say it's not a full sequel and others say readers will have a better experience reading The Glass Hotel first. Readers should consider reading Station Eleven. This article from Wired delves into similar themes of Sea of Tranquility, Station Eleven. This Deadline.com article highlights the popularity of the three books and The New Yorker wrote a profile piece of St. John Mandel. Banned Books Week is from Sept. 18, to Sept. 24 Publishers Weekly says more books are being banned and contested now. This article highlights how schools are under pressure. Newsweek wrote an article about a teacher in Texas whose banned books display was protested by parents.The American Library Association tracked the top 10 most frequently challenged books, and they are:1. Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maria Kobabe and she is quoted in this article.2. Lawn Boy by Jonathan Evison3. All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson4. Out of Darkness by Ashley Hope Perez5. The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas6. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie7. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews8. The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison9.

Who are we? Do our lives matter? Did that one choice affect the rest of our lives? Just some nice, light icebreakers for you to answer after finishing our most recent read. The Glass Hotel follows two half-siblings, Vincent and Paul, who grew up apart from each other, both physically and emotionally, in British Columbia. Paul has lost large chunks of his life to heroin addiction and Vincent is a high school dropout who makes video art in her spare time. Paul and Vincent find jobs at a hotel on the north end of Vancouver Island, Vincent as a bartender and Paul as a night houseman. It's there that Vincent meets Jonathan Alkaitis, the hotel's owner, a successful New York businessman who falls for the young woman.Vincent quits her job and moves in with Jonathan. She's not in love with him, but longs for financial security. Their world falls apart when Jonathan is arrested for running a Ponzi scheme that ruins the lives of his investors. He's sentenced to 170 years in prison, and finds himself haunted by "a creeping sense of unreality," as well as a self-pity that doesn't quite make sense to him. [Summary shortened from NPR Article] Our Emily St. John Mandel expert, Ella Kopeikin, joins the podcast today to share her thoughts on the death of Vincent, the supreme character development, and the mystery that is the world around us (existential crisis? maybe). In this episode we cover: How Jenna's dog had a freakout, but unfortunately (or fortunately?), it was cut from the audio Why Emily St. John Mandel is both intimidating and inviting — We want to have dinner with her, but we know she's way too smart for us Why Jenna literally got lost in the country of Canada while reading this book Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will have you questioning everything, from the “what ifs” to the “if thens”.

Emily St John Mandel's Sea of Tranquility is a book of large scope—spanning more than four centuries—and even larger ideas. In fewer than 300 pages we take in pandemics, time travel and colonialism—of both lunar and early-20th Century varieties. What keeps our feet on solid ground is Emily St John Mandel's elegant, light-touch prose, her almost preternatural gift for spinning a story, and perhaps above all else the convincing, compassionately-told human stories at its core.*SUBSCRIBE NOW FOR BONUS EPISODESLooking for Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses? https://podfollow.com/sandcoulyssesIf you want to spend even more time at Shakespeare and Company, you can now subscribe for regular bonus episodes and early access to Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses.Subscribe on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/sandcoSubscribe on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/shakespeare-and-company-writers-books-and-paris/id1040121937?l=enAll money raised goes to supporting “Friends of Shakespeare and Company” the bookshop's non-profit, created to fund our noncommercial activities—from the upstairs reading library, to the writers-in-residence program, to our charitable collaborations, and our free events.*Emily St. John Mandel was born in Canada and studied dance at The School of Toronto Dance Theatre.

In Episode 98, Gen and Jette discuss The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. This episode falls into our #BookstagramMadeMeDoIt series, which lets us jump on the train of a popular book to see what all the fuss is about and if it lives up to the hype. Evelyn Hugo has been all over Instagram and TikTok and we can see why! Just like with Daisy Jones and the Six, Jenkins Reid crafts an impeccable fictional story that slides so neatly into real history that you'd think it actually happened. If you're looking for your next summer read, look no further! Show Notes We might just be Taylor Jenkins Reid super fans now. Time to work our way through her entire catalogue. And maybe reread Daisy Jones? It was a lot of fun looking into the Taylor Jenkins Reid Universe, which loosely connects Daisy Jones, Evelyn Hugo, and Malibu Rising in the same fictional history. We suspect her latest book, Carrie Sotto is Back, also fits into this timeline. As far as we can tell, Evelyn's third husband, Mick Riva, is the common thread in all of them. Daisy Jones and the Six has been adapted into a mini series and is set to release some time this year, though we don't have an exact date yet. All we can say is: Give it to us now! (We may or may not have a bonus episode once we've watched it.) We're celebrating our 100th episode next! Let us know your favourite episodes and what you'd like to see more from us in the future.

Canadian author, Emily St John Mandel, says the pandemic changed her as a writer. Her latest, Sea of Tranquility, was written during lockdown in New York and while it's a standalone novel, also features links to her previous books, Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel. Also, Goan-Anglo-Indian Australian writer Michelle Cahill's novel, Daisy and Woolf, is a literary homage and post-colonial critique of Virginia Woolf's classic Mrs Dalloway.

Listen here.
Despite the grim nature of a story about a pandemic that destroys civilization, Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel is full of subtle optimism and deep characters. It jumps between timelines and between characters, and builds mystery about how all these people are going to be connected. It tells a tense story about the dangers posed by other survivors in a post-apocalyptic world, while at the same time its characters try to hold on to art and music. It even manages to explore the narcissism created by celebrity in the 'present' timeline. The book was first published as sci-fi, but after the release of the TV show has been moved to the general fiction section in most book stores, so this also seemed like the right episode go deep on what exactly counts as sci-fi. As always, we also recommend and discuss some similar books if you are looking for more great books to read. This week we recommend Barrayar (or any book in the Vorkosigan Saga) by Lois McMaster Bujold, The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel, any book by Mario Vargas Llosa, and The Road by Cormac McCarthy.If you'd prefer to watch the video version, you can watch it at this link.
The four narrators who deliver Emily St. John Mandel's newest novel create a mesmerizing listening experience full of time shifts. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss the audiobook full of interlocking storylines that call back to the author's STATION ELEVEN and THE GLASS HOTEL. John Lee effortlessly transports listeners to 1918 British Columbia, while Dylan Moore brings a perfect mix of malaise and inertia to her characterization of a woman living in 2020 New York. Kirsten Potter shines as she takes listeners on an ill-fated book tour at the start of a 2200s pandemic, with insights that cut close to home. And Arthur Morey's beautiful, haunting narration of a man from a moon colony ties the story together.

In 2014, after years of writing in relative obscurity, Emily St. John Mandel published a breakaway novel. “Station Eleven” was a huge hit, selling more than 1.5 million copies and receiving critical acclaim. It was even made into a television series by HBO Max. Eerily enough, “Station Eleven” was set in a world confronting a global pandemic. Her new novel, “Sea of Tranquility,” is also set in the future — and the past — thanks to a time-traveling narrative the weaves together five centuries across space and time. This Friday, as part of the Big Books and Bold Ideas conversation, MPR News host Kerri Miller stepped into the void with Mandel. They talk about the folly of time travel, how hinge moments are often recognized only in hindsight, and the constant contingency of living. Who would we be if we weren't ourselves? Guest: Emily St. John Mandel is the best-selling author of five novels, including “Station Eleven” and “The Glass Hotel.” Her new book is “Sea of Tranquility.” To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.

I’m Jim McKeown , welcome to Likely Stories, a weekly review of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Every-once-in-a-while I come across a novel by Emily St. John Mandel. I skimmed some titles, but nothing caught my attention. When her fifth novel appeared— The Glass Hotel— the dust jacket intrigued me. She was a finalist for a National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award.
Vincent Bolduc, Philippe Renaud et Claudia Hébert discutent du film Quo Vadis, Aida?, de Jasmila Žbanić, de la pièce Mourir tendre, présentée au Théâtre Prospero et du roman The Glass Hotel, par Emily St. John Mandel; Sylvain Cormier parle du décès de Michel Louvain à travers le regard du journaliste musical; René Homier-Roy présente ses choix de livres audio sur la plateforme OHdio; Rachel Graton se penche sur son rôle dans la peau d'une portraitiste bipolaire, dans la nouvelle série Portrait-robot; et Louis-Jean Cormier présente son nouvel album intitulé Le ciel est au plancher.
Emily St. John Mandel's exquisite new novel tells of the porous boundaries between past and present, rich and poor, living and dead. The Glass Hotel follows tough and beautiful Vincent, whose fall off a container ship into a storm-tossed ocean opens and closes the book, and of Jonathan, who whisks Vincent off into the “kingdom of money”, but whose wealth is a Bernie Madoff-esque mirage. With its intricate, interlocking narratives, and rich haunting prose, The Glass Hotel is a beguiling puzzle of a book that is a joy to solve. Chaired by Caroline Baum
The Glass Hotel is like a literary mosaic of tiny pieces taken from various times, locations, and perspectives. I found this initially disorienting, but when the bigger picture started to emerge, I was hooked. Emily St. John Mandel was born and raised on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. She studied contemporary dance at the School of Toronto Dance Theatre and lived briefly in Montreal before relocating to New York. She is the author of five novels, including The Glass Hotel (spring 2020) and Station Eleven (2014.) Station Eleven was a finalist for a National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award, won the Morning News Tournament of Books, and has been translated into 34 languages.

The Glass Hotel, the latest novel by Emily St John Mandel, takes readers into a foreign country: one whose boundaries are defined by money. Inspired by Bernie Madoff and the 2008 financial crisis, Mandel gives life to high financiers, trophy wives, and the people on the outskirts. And in a story of ghosts and regrets, she shows how much of a life can be invisible, and what it means to see.
Not quite halfway through “The Glass Hotel,” a new novel by Emily St. John Mandel, a woman named Vincent takes stock of her existence. “She felt that by any rational measure she was living an extraordinary life,” Mandel writes. I read these words in self-quarantine, while watching my boyfriend remove five varieties of pasta from a grocery bag. Join the club, I thought. The coronavirus may have heightened our sense of living in an “extraordinary” moment, but current events—climate change, the President—have been stoking it for some time. It is possible, then, to tear through Mandel's fiction in a delirium of recognition. (Her previous novel, “Station Eleven,” which was a finalist for the National Book Award, in 2014, follows the survivors of a flu that wipes out ninety-nine per cent of humanity.) Mandel's gift is to weave realism out of extremity. She plants her flag where the ordinary and the astonishing meet, where everyday people pause to wonder how, exactly, it came to this. She is our bard of waking up in the wrong time line. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

Emily St John Mandel grew up in Canada and now lives in New York. She has written various prize-winning books including The Singer's Gun that won the 2014 Prix Mystère de la Critique in France and Station Eleven, which one reviewer likened to ‘Cormac McCarthy seesawing with Joan Didion'. It's a story that moves between the night a particular strain of flu starts spreading like wildfire and the future 20 years later following a band of itinerant musicians and Shakespearean actors. It won the 2015 Arthur C. Clarke Award and The Toronto Book Award and is of course even more prescient now than when it came out in 2014. Emily's brilliant new novel, The Glass Hotel, is as The Guardian said ‘a portrait of everyday obliviousness … a tale of Ponzi schemes, not pestilence'. The thing about this novel and all of Emily's books really is that they're not just absorbing stories that are beautifully written – there's also so many big hearty ideas within them, and musings about humanity, about who we are in the dark and about our dreams and the ghosts that haunt us. And all of this makes her books resonate long after you've put them down.
