- Author
- Emily St. John Mandel
- Genre / vibe
- Post‑pandemic literary sci‑fi, sad and hopeful
- When it hits best
- When you can emotionally handle a pandemic story that’s more about people than plague
- My take
- Yes, pandemic, but it’s really about art, memory, and the tiny ways people keep each other alive. Nonlinear, a little haunting, and I kept thinking about it every time the T randomly stalled between stops.
