Station Eleven is a narrative about a Hollywood celebrity, his would-be rescuer, and a nomadic troupe of actors who travel the dispersed outposts of the Great Lakes area, risking all for art and humanity. It is set in the days before society collapses.
A well-known Hollywood actor passes away on stage during a performance of King Lear one wintry night. The world as we know it starts to crumble hours later. This suspenseful, elegiac, and captivating novel moves back and forth in time, from the actor's early days as a movie star to fifteen years later, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains. It maps the peculiar turns of events that bind five people together: the actor, the man who attempted to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony who is in danger from a self-proclaimed prophet.
