Emily St. John Mandel's immersive, layered storytelling journeys from Vancouver Island to a future moon colony in Sea of Tranquility, her latest novel. As her characters encounter pandemics across centuries and space, St. John Mandel's imaginative, tender style tells a timely tale of human perseverance. Mandel will be joined in conversation by Omar El Akkad, whose Giller Prize-winning novel What Strange Paradise follows a young Syrian boy on an unfamiliar island.
