Emily St. John Mandel, SEA OF TRANQUILITY

Zibby interviews New York Times bestselling author Emily St. John Mandel about Sea of Tranquility, a shimmering work of speculative and historical fiction about a time-traveling detective investigating an anomaly that seems to indicate her world is a simulation. Emily describes her unique path to becoming an author (it involves homeschooling and dance) and her experience writing this novel mid-pandemic. She also discusses the connections between all her books, reveals what she is working on now (from TV adaptations to a new book), and shares her best advice for aspiring writers.  Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3A46plpPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3olRPmDSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.** Check out the Z.I.P. membership program—Zibby’s Important People!
