This week, Emily St. John Mandel discusses her novel The Glass Hotel. Set at the glittering intersection of two seemingly disparate events; a massive Ponzi scheme collapse and the mysterious disappearance of a woman from a ship at sea, The Glass Hotel, is a portrait of greed and guilt, love and delusion, ghosts and unintended consequences.
