Vi o Station Eleven no HBO Max e achei que valia a pena ler um livro da mesma autora. Não me enganei. #SeaOfTranquility

Just finished a book club meeting talking about #EmilyStJohnMandel’s #SeaOfTranquility (my one line review - she’s going to kick herself when she finally gets around to reading Heinlein and Dick). Had her habit of recycling characters pointed out and realise I probably ought to dig out that copy of #StationEleven I’ve got lying around and get around to actually reading it.

Emily St John Mandel's Sea of Tranquility is out this month in paperback. Really compelling tale set in three time periods, linked by a temporal anomaly, beautifully connecting them together (really lovely writing craft). Here's my review for the hardback release from last year https://www.woolamaloo.org.uk/reviews-sea-of-tranquility/

I really enjoyed #SeaOfTranquility. Even though one character dissed the Canadian prairies 😂

So, let's see if I can use my enthusiasm for the pachyderm vs the bird to keep my #HaveRead list going this year.

Book 1: Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel. I loved Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel even better. Picking up the characters and places again and re-examining them just keeps making her work better.

From _Sea of Tranquility_, by Emily St. John Mandel:
—
“My personal belief is that we turn to postapocalyptic fiction not because we’re drawn to disaster, per se, but because we’re drawn to what we might imagine might come next. We long secretly for a world with less technology in it.”

From _Sea of Tranquility_, by Emily St. John Mandel:
—
“But all of this raises an interesting question,” Olive said. “What if it always _is_ the end of the world?”

She paused for effect. Before her, the holographic audience was almost perfectly still. “Because we might reasonably think of the end of the world,” Olive said, “as a continuous and never-ending process.”

“What if it always is the end of the world?”

Ooooh I got sucked into this one, and I’m not big into time travel.

“You write a book with a fictional tattoo and then the tattoo becomes real in the world and after that almost anything is possible.”

I *cannot* stop listening to the audiobook of #SeaOfTranquility by Emily St John Mandel. The more I figure out what’s going on, the more compelling and horrifying it gets. I’m almost enjoying this week’s migraine day as a result ;) #Books #SFF #SciFi

Best novel I read in 2022. Simply amazing. #emilystjohnmandel #seaoftranquility

St. John Mandel is quite a talent, bursting out of nowhere onto all the lists. I’m very impressed. #scifi #seaoftranquility
