[Station Eleven] is a literary tale of the end of civilization. Unlike most of the novels about the post apocalyptic world [Emily St. John Mandel] weaves a story built of relationships. It would compare to a futuristic [Canterbury Tales] as it tells the tales of the survivors in this one band and their journey.

Book Favorite

"I love this book almost as much as I hate it. Martin, a thinly disguised version of Leavitt himself, describes the “brat pack” of young writers he was a part of in the New York literary scene of the mid-1980s. It’s sort of like watching a train wreck, fascinating and horrifying at once."

Vladimir Nabokov | 1982 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"Nabokov’s essays on Russian literature are brilliantly funny and iconoclastic. He loves Gogol and hates Dostoyevsky and accuses him of being like the worst kind of sensationalist, journalistic hack. “Dostoyevsky is not a great writer, but a rather mediocre one—with flashes of excellent humor, but, alas, with wastelands of literary platitudes in between.”"

Barbados isn’t on my bucket list of places I would like to visit, but thankfully, Willig gave me a virtual visit through this book. Take a look at my #bookreview of this novel to see if I found this literary vacation a pleasant one or not! https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/06/14/burning-in-barbados/
