Emily St John Mandel

Forfatterbiografi

Emily St. John Mandel er en canadisk forfatter, født i 1979 i British Columbia. Hun skriver især romaner, der forener litterær prosa med elementer af genrefiktion som postapokalypse, thriller og spekulativ fiktion, ofte med fokus på skæbnefællesskaber, sårbarhed og de valg, der former både mennesker og samfund. Hendes gennembrudte fortælleunivers slog for alvor igennem med Station Eleven, som fik en bred international anerkendelse. Romanen blev udpeget som finalist til National Book Award og vandt PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction i 2015. Samme år modtog hun også Toronto Book Award for Station Eleven. Med tiden har hun udvidet sit register, bl.a. med The Glass Hotel og Sea of Tranquility, hvor hun fortsat arbejder med krydsende historier og en stærk stemning af historisk og følelsesmæssig efterklang. Exit Party, udgivet af forlaget som romanen følger i samme tematisk beslægtede spor, hvor nutidens politiske og sociale spændinger spejles i en nær, foruroligende fremtid. Mandel har dermed sat sit aftryk i samtidslitteraturen ved at gøre spekulative og katastrofeksempler til menneskelige fortællinger om kunst, hukommelse og overlevelse.
