Exit Party

An Emily St. John Mandel novel is always cause for excitement . . . Another kaleidoscopic, genre-and-planet-spanning jewel of a book. I'll let her take me everywhere and anywhere. -- Emily Temple, LitHub A glittering puzzle box of a novel . . . [The] novel brilliantly ties the notion of parallel timelines to a political theme, positing a dark twinship between chaos and totalitarianism. . . . This is [Mandel's] best novel since Station Eleven, a cause for rejoicing among her fans and an inspiration for newbies to dive into the backlist. Both a thrilling read and a virtuoso demonstration of the moral and philosophical possibilities of speculative fiction -- Kirkus (Starred Review) Mandel always writes with clarity and precision. Her perceptive new dystopian novel explores what is lost in a rush to safety; it's a hymn to what falls when the center doesn't hold -- Library Journal (Starred Review)As ever in her own wholly original and singular way, Mandel offers up a completely compelling, richly rendered yarn that's sure to generate both major interest and discussion -- Booklist (Starred Review) Masterful . . . a dizzying story of doubles and parallel universes. Mandel's assured tale offers bracing commentary on the dangers of divisiveness and surveillance, and the propulsive plot is fueled by the unfolding mystery of the initiating party scene. It's a tour de force -- Publishers Weekly
