'Ambitious and captivating . . . the culmination of her career so far' – The New York Times
'Reaches new heights . . . extraordinary' – The Guardian

2031. America is at war with itself, but for the first time in weeks there is some hope: the Republic of California has been declared, the curfew in Los Angeles is lifted, and everyone in the city is going to a party.

Ari, newly released from prison, arrives with her friend Gloria just as a fragile new era begins. But there are people at the party who shouldn’t be there. Something is very wrong . . .

Years later, living a different life in Paris, Ari remains haunted by that night. Whatever happened at the party fractured her sense of reality – and may hold the key to a very different world.

Freedom and surveillance, art and survival, love and loss in a broken world: Exit Party is the electrifying new novel from Emily St. John Mandel.

Recensioni della critica

Ambitious and captivating . . . the novel will rightly entrance new readers while gripping Mandel's existing ones. Exit Party feels like the culmination of her career so far, combining the thrills and mysteries of the author's early crime novels with the expansive premises and speculative ruminations of later novels like Station Eleven (The New York Times)
What makes Exit Party a superlative example of the form is its structural cohesiveness, its expert play of signs and symbols, its psychological realism. Mandel’s imaginative landscapes have from the first been intricately constructed, an elegant dance in which plot, character and idea appear effortlessly matched. In Exit Party, her ability to handle a complex array of material while never once allowing her focus to drift from the human story reaches new heights . . . extraordinary (The Guardian)
Over the course of seven novels, Mandel has established herself as one of the most fascinating writers of speculative fiction . . . What is it to be human, she asks, in a world quite so heavily controlled? An amazing book by an amazing writer (The i Paper)
Beautifully written . . . a sweeping saga . . . One of the joys of her novels is that though you frequently have no idea where the story is travelling, you have confidence as a reader that it is moving towards a clear resolution. It is not that all loose ends are neatly tied but you know there is a destination . . . St John Mandel is a beautiful writer. Reading her work is like slipping into a warm pool . . . there are times when she calls to mind Paul Auster and his characters dancing to the music of chance (Financial Times)
The novel's two-handed structure pulls off exhilarating feats of narrative derring-do . . . It [. . . ] works beautifully. Mandel is a virtuoso of complication, catching the reader up in suspense, then providing answers slowly, thoroughly, satisfyingly. Exit Party concerns two parallel worlds, but is itself a whole one. Readers will want to linger in it (Times Literary Supplement)
She deftly creates emotional resonance through events that feel like a slanted take on our own times . . . Exit Party, like much of her work, makes the case for relishing small moments of joy, frightening as the world is (The Guardian)
An elegant, gracefully written crime story with sci-fi shadings (The New Yorker)
This kind of emotional depth is rare. Mandel's triumph here is to take genre tropes and create something new from them. Literary science fiction of the highest standard (SFX)
A tremendous, riveting, deeply human novel—one of the best I’ve read in years (WIRED)
