Black Bird Bookstore will be the onsite bookseller at this event. Emily St. John Mandel’s award-winning novels invite readers to reimagine how we relate to art, freedom, and hope.

Emily St. John Mandel , a bestselling and beloved novelist, refuses to stay tied to a single genre. Her work experiments with literary noir, speculative fiction, post-apocolytic, and horror, always building an inventive, luminous, and challenging vision of our world. Her breakout novel Station Eleven, a moving portrayal of art and human connection across a post-apocolytic landscape was adapted into a limited series for HBO, and has been translated into 37 languages.

This year, Mandel returns with her new novel Exit Party, diving into a future United States locked in a new civil war. It is within this painful landscape that Mandel explores freedom, surveillance, and the possibility of a better world Daniel Handler is the author of the novels Why We Broke Up, We Are Pirates, All the Dirty Parts, and Bottle Grove, as well as the memoir And Then?
