“We move through this world so lightly.’
The Glass Hotel,
The question of what people keep when they lose everything clearly intrigues Mandel, even if the disaster inStation Eleven. There’s a theory that stories enthrall human beings because they engage our fascination with causality—the speculative faculty that’s behind our evolutionary success. We like to run scenarios and see how they play out. If Leon Prevant had not, for example, happened to check into the hotel at the same time as Alkaitis; or if his wife had not had a headache that night; or if he had not responded by heading down to the bar for a drink, he might have retired comfortably, as he’d planned.
Is there a discernible theme or moral in this web of tales? Certainly not the rather portentous message ofwith its testimonial to the enduring value of art. But this novel’s pointlessness, paradoxically, becomes one of its great strengths. By some miracle, although it’s hard to determine what it’s about,is never dull.
