Over at the Guardian, I wrote about the past year and the new Star Wars and what it all means

I knew Entertainment Weekly had picked Station Eleven as their favourite book of the year, but didn’t know until I bought the magazine that they’d provided an illustration of the Traveling Symphony’s lead caravan. I especially like the driver in the captain’s hat. Station Eleven went into its eleventh printing this week.
