What a beautiful fucking novel. Station Eleven is a masterpiece of storytelling. I had seen the HBO series back when it came out and loved it so much that I stupidly avoided this book expecting to be disappointed but it’s actually 1000x better than the immaculate series. The world-building, the characters, the inner dialogue… beautiful written! It really is crazy though how well Emily St. John Mandel was able to capture the psychology of a pandemic that happened 6 years after she wrote this book… felt myself chilled to the bone a few times just reminiscing on those early months of 2020.
