The opposite of loneliness : essays and stories

"An affecting and hope-filled posthumous collection of essays and stories from the talented young Yale graduate whose title essay captured the world's attention in 2012 and turned her into an icon for her generation. Marina Keegan's star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at The New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash. As her family, friends, and classmates, deep in grief, joined to create a memorial service for Marina, her deeply affecting last essay for The Yale Daily News, "The Opposite of Loneliness," went viral, receiving more than 1.4 million hits. Even though she was just twenty-two years old when she died, Marina left behind a rich, deeply expansive trove of prose that, like her title essay, capture the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation. Her short story, "Cold Pastoral," was published in NewYorker.com just months after her death. The Opposite of Loneliness is an assemblage of Marina's essays and stories, which, like The Last Lecture, articulate the universal struggle that all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be, and how we harness our talents to impact the world"--

  • "Eine Literaturstudentin stirbt mit 22 Jahren bei einem Autounfall. Und hinterlässt der Welt ungeheure Stories, die Millionen Menschen in hundert Ländern mitreißen. Eine Internetsensation: 2,1 Millionen Klicks, monatelang auf der New York Times Bestsellerliste! Nur wenige Tage nach ihrem Yale-Abschluss stirbt die 22jährige Marina Keegan bei einem Autounfall. Und hinterlässt der Welt brillante Stories voller Lebenslust. "Das Gegenteil von Einsamkeit" bewegt Millionen Menschen in hundert Ländern. Marina Keegan war ein Ausnahmetalent. Sie vereint schwerelosen, sensiblen Optimismus mit literarischer Reife. Die Stories sind klangvoll, witzig, und doch gebrochen, manchmal wild und angriffslustig; sie sind ein stürmisches Plädoyer für die Jugend, die Lebensfreude, begeistern durch ihre Hoffnung und Entschiedenheit: Lasst euch nicht gleich von McKinsey anheuern, findet eure Bestimmung, habt Vertrauen in eure Zukunft! Eine flammende Aufforderung, die eigene Jugend und den Sinn des Lebens (wieder) zu entdecken. (Quelle: lovelybooks.de)."

Eva Meckbach ist Ensemblemitglied der Berliner Schaubühne und war im Kino in Hans-Christian Schmids "Was bleibt" zu sehen. Ihre Stimme setzt sie zudem erfolgreich als Hörbuchinterpretin ein. Von enthusiastisch bis nachdenklich erfasst ihre junge Stimme alle Facetten von Marina Keegans Essays und Geschichten. (Quelle: www.buchhandel.de)."
