Knopf, $c 2015. 300 $a 333 pages ; $c 22 cm. 520 $a "An audacious, darkly glittering novel about art, fame, and ambition set in the eerie days of civilization's collapse, from the author of three highly acclaimed previous novels. One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time-from the actor's early days as a film star to fifteen years in the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains-this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet. Sometimes terrifying, sometimes tender, Station Eleven tells a story about the relationships that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20230201. 650 7 $a Actors $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Influenza $v Fiction. 650 $a Pandemics $v Fiction. 650 $a Art $v Fiction. 650 $a Fame $x Fiction. 650 7 $a Fate and fatalism $v Fiction. 650 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Adventure fiction. 655 7 $a Apocalyptic fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20230323010607.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0CD1C2DEC94011ED836DB6A126ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
