Station Eleven
by Emily St John Mandel (Canada)
One snowy night, a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear.
Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve.
This is an audacious, darkly glittering novel about art, fame and ambition set in the eerie days of civilization collapse, from the author of three highly acclaimed previous novels.

In One Person
by John Irving (U.S.A.)
The book is about a young bisexual man who falls in love with an older transgender woman – Miss Frost, the librarian in a Vermont public library.
The bi guy is the main character, but two transgender women are the heroes of this novel – in the sense that these two characters are the ones the bisexual narrator, Billy Abbott, most looks up to.
