Dystopia as Comfort? Really?




I posted this photo on Instagram the other day while taking a reading break from getting the house ready to be photographed for its real estate listing. Have you read (or heard of) Emily St John Mandel's dystopian novel, Station Eleven? I'm completely captivated by the premise, so far, and the writing is thoughtful and lyrical and engaging. And there's nothing like imagining the end of civilisation to put a move from island to city in perspective!
