6.04 Station Eleven, or 2020
It took me three years before I felt ready to read a book about a pandemic. After much recommendation, from both during the height of the coronavirus pandemic and afterwards, I read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. In this episode I talk about how much this book impacted me, in its discussions of disaster, survival, and art. I hope you enjoy!
