Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of Station Eleven, Exit Party is Emily St. John Mandel's new mind-bending epic: a story of crimes committed and loves lost across space and time.
2031. America is at war with itself, but for the first time in weeks there is some hope: the Republic of California has been declared, the curfew in Los Angeles is lifted, and everyone in the city is going to a party.
Ari, newly released from prison, arrives with her friend Gloria just as a fragile new era begins. But there are people at the party who shouldn't be there. Something is very wrong . . .
Years later, living a different life in Paris, Ari remains haunted by that night. Whatever happened at the party fractured her sense of reality - and may hold the key to a very different world.
Exit Party is Emily St. John Mandel's electrifying new novel about freedom and surveillance, art and survival, love and loss in a broken world.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Emily St. John Mandel has a knack for taking big speculative ideas and making them feel strangely intimate, and Exit Party is another trip into her singular imagination. It’s 2031, America has fractured, the Republic of California has been declared and Los Angeles is celebrating the end of curfew with one hell of a party. Fresh out of prison, Ari arrives ready for a new beginning, only to find that something about the night is very wrong. From there, Mandel plays with fractured realities while exploring freedom, surveillance, art and survival in a world that has changed beyond recognition. Mind-bending without losing sight of the human beings at its centre, this is speculative fiction with plenty on its mind.
