Emily St. John Mandel's latest novel is "The Glass Hotel" (HarperCollins, 2020).

Emily St. John Mandel wrote a prescient novel in 2014. Station Eleven was set in the future after a flu pandemic wiped out most of the world's population. It was unsettling reading before COVID-19; now, it's especially alarming. But Mandel's new novel, The Glass Hotel, will take you further away from our situation these days. The Glass Hotel is more of a mystery/ghost story, though Mandel has an assured, 21st-century take on the genre. During this Wisconsin Book Festival event, she will be in conversation with Chloe Benjamin, author of The Immortalists. Register here for the Crowdcast link.
