Emily St. John Mandel shares some of her inline notes on Station Eleven (the novel), including some comments on the TV adaptation. I love when authors do this and wish the Kindle would display these author notes inline, over time. https://www.goodreads.com/notes/59815561-station-eleven/30386465-emily-mandel?utm_content=knh_list_button&utm_medium=email&utm_source=knh_friend_blast%3Aauthor_shelved_ids&ref_=pe_7171740_474205800

Have never met @bakadesuyo but have learned a lot from his wide-ranging syntheses. And I could use a clear-eyed primer on the latest research on relationships, a topic eternally underrated and understudied.

I didn't get sent a galley of this, but I finally picked it up and flew threw it. Mesmerizing. I suppose it would be classified as historical fiction but it feels like a genre all its own.
