Station Eleven: The HBO series’ creator explains changing the book’s ending.
SlateIt’s understandable if the last thing you want to watch during a pandemic is a TV show about a world laid waste by a pandemic. But I was like, “Would you guys ever tell ‘Araby’ around a campfire?” Literary fiction has a habit, I think, of getting quite preoccupied with its own style and its own subtlety. And she’s like, “I’ll kill you but—but if you’re into art, maybe we can talk.” I just think that it’s true in 2022 as well. “When I first read that book, I finished it and I was like, ‘This book is about the internet.’” It’s good to be reminded that all technology is humans solving a problem. I’m just like, “This is a really famous piece of music that everyone thinks is impossible.” Not to mention the fact that whoever lived in that apartment seems to have thrown themselves out the window.
