About this event

Celebrate Emily St John Mandel’s new novel, an unforgettable story of crimes committed and loves lost over space and time, in conversation with Irenosen Okojie. From the bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility, Exit Party is a story of the broken boundaries between parallel worlds and a single party on a fateful night in 2031 that links two very different versions of reality. Exit Party is an electrifying new novel about freedom and surveillance, art and survival, love and loss in a broken world. Irenosen Okojie is a Nigerian-British author whose work pushes the boundaries of form, language and ideas. Her novels, Curandera,Butterfly Fish, and short story collections, Speak Gigantular and Nudibranch, have won and been nominated for multiple awards. Her collection of hybrid personal essays Quixotic Fissures is published by Dialogue Books. She is the director and founder of Black to the Future festival.
