Summary
One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time, from the actor's early days… as a film star to fifteen years in the future, when a theatre troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains, "Station Eleven" tells a story about the relationships that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it. Winner of the 2015 Toronto Book Award and the 2015 Arthur C. Clarke Award. Bestseller. 2014.
