About this listen
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An audacious, darkly glittering novel set in the eerie days of civilization’s collapse—the spellbinding story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity. Now an original series on HBO Max. Over one million copies sold!
Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end.
Twenty years later, Kirsten moves between the settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony, and they have dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive. But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band’s existence. And as the story takes off, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, the strange twist of fate that connects them all will be revealed.
Look for Emily St. John Mandel’s bestselling new novel, Sea of Tranquility!

Editorial Review
Celebrities are a staple feature in our lives today, but what if the world was to end? The premise of the demise of humanity brought forth by a pandemic is nothing new, but the nuanced and uplifting tone of Station Eleven offers a welcome departure from the typical apocalyptic dystopia. Emily St. John Mandel, a Scotiabank Giller Prize shortlisted Canadian author, explores the question: What would happen to the arts if civilization as we know it ended? In Station Eleven, she provides a glimpse of a post-apocalyptic travelling theatre, where small communities of survivors have kept the music and the arts alive. Mandel flicks back and forth in time and between characters, following how their lives change in the wake of the pandemic, and eventually interconnecting their seemingly unrelated stories. Though their lives will never be the same, artists and actors continue to pursue their passion even in seemingly impossible circumstances. Station Eleven has been widely acclaimed by critics for its originality both in terms of storyline and writing style, earning a place in the National Book Awards finals and a spot on The New York Times Best Seller list. Thanks to its popularity, it has been adapted and aired as a ten-episode miniseries on HBO Max. The narrator of this outstanding audiobook, Kirsten Potter, is a three-time AudioFile Earphones Award-winner and lends her voice to Station Eleven. Her stable pace and beautiful tone make this an unforgettable listening experience.

Pre-Pandemic Masterpiece
This is a masterfully crafted post-apocalyptic book about a flu that ravages the world. The story is compelling, but listeners should hold off until the COVID-19 pandemic is resolved before listening.

A Dystopian Future - A very creative story!
This book felt unique to me, and very real. I loved the dystopian theme, and the characters. At times the loose ties between all characters felt confusing, and there are definitely plot lines and background information that is not brought to a close. However, overall, it is certainly worth a read. The ending is lovely.

A more thoughtful apocalypse
Achingly beautiful, perhaps made more poignant by our real-world pandemic, which after this novel feels like it might have been a “near miss.”
