October 15, 2026
Join Talking Volumes for a riveting evening with Emily St. John Mandel, the acclaimed author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility, as she discusses Exit Party, her dazzling new novel of doubles, fractured timelines, and lives transformed by a single uncanny night. Set in a near-future Los Angeles emerging from collapse, the story begins at a glittering party where reality suddenly slips: a host disappears, a stranger appears, and nothing feels certain again. With her signature blend of literary elegance, suspense, and speculative imagination, Mandel delivers a mind-bending story of art, survival, freedom, and the hidden forces shaping our world. Don’t miss the chance to hear one of today’s most celebrated novelists in conversation at The O’Shaughnessy Auditorium for what promises to be one of the season’s most thought-provoking and unforgettable events.
When: November 4, 7-9 P.M.
Where: The O'Shaughnessy Auditorium at St. Catherine University
