I’ll Take the Irish Exit: The Concept of Leaving in Emily St. John Mandel’s “Exit Party”

chireviewofbooks.com/2026/09/15/ill-take-the-irish-exit-the-concept-of-leaving-in-emily-st-john-mandels-exit-party

A doppelganger party turns lethal in Emily St. John Mandel's new novel, splitting one Los Angeles into duplicate lives on a record's A and B sides. The author walks through the vanishing act at the center of it, and names China Miéville's twin-city thriller as her closest touchstone.
