Emily St. John Mandel Returns to Dystopia with 'Exit Party' — Next up, an Emma Stone-Attached TV Adaptation
The novel follows doppelgangers and parallel realities as Mandel turns political collapse into a television project with Emma Stone and Dave McCary attached.
- Author Emily St. John Mandel released her seventh novel, "Exit Party," depicting a post-coup Los Angeles under authoritarian rule, with a television adaptation already in development.
- The massive success of her 2014 breakout novel, "Station Eleven," allowed Mandel to leave her administrative assistant job and write full-time, overcoming the initial terror of losing her safety net.
- "Exit Party" follows Ari Waker, a character released from prison, navigating a fragile Republic of California through parallel realities shaped by political collapse in scenes set in Silver Lake.
- Executive producers Emma Stone and Dave McCary's production company, Fruit Tree, is slated to produce the television adaptation while Mandel pens the script for the screen version.
- Readers have viewed Mandel's books as prophecies since "Station Eleven"'s pandemic plot mirrored reality six years after its 2014 release; she compares her speculative fiction to climate science projections mapping catastrophe scenarios.
