Emily St. John Mandel grew up on the west coast of British Columbia before moving to Montreal and then New York City. She studied dance at the School of Toronto Dance Theatre before turning to writing fiction. Her early novels, including Last Night in Montreal and The Singer’s Gun, earned her a small but loyal readership, though it was Station Eleven that brought her widespread attention.
Station Eleven imagines a world devastated by a flu pandemic and follows a traveling Shakespeare company performing for scattered survivors. The book earned comparisons to literary writers like Michael Cunningham and David Mitchell. Mandel went on to write The Glass Hotel, a story about a Ponzi scheme and its aftermath, and Sea of Tranquility, which moves between centuries and features a colony on the moon.
She has also contributed short fiction to the Akashic Noir anthology series, which pairs crime writers with cities around the world.
