Join Emily St. John Mandel, bestselling author of the just published novel The Glass Hotel as well as the much discussed of late pandemic novel, Station Eleven, in conversation with her publisher at Knopf (and beloved Montclair NJ resident) Reagan Arthur.

The Glass Hotel is a captivating novel of money, beauty, white-collar crime, ghosts and moral compromise in which a woman disappears from a container ship off the coast of Mauritania and a massive Ponzi scheme implodes in New York, dragging countless fortunes with it.

“A beguiling tale about skewed morals, reckless lives and necessary means of escape… A sprawling, immersive book… The novel’s scope and brimming vitality are… its strengths.” —The Economist
