《孤獨的反面》隨筆故事集

Author： Marina Keegan

Publisher： Scribner

An affecting and hope-filled posthumous collection of essays and stories from the talented young Yale graduate.

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 International Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at the New Yorker. Tragically， five days after graduation， Marina died in a car crash.

Even though she was just twenty-two when she died， Marina left behind a rich， expansive trove of prose that， like her title essay， captures the hope， uncertainty， and possibility of her generation. The Opposite of Loneliness is an assem-blage of Marina’s essays and stories that， like The Last Lecture， articulates the universal struggle that all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to make an impact on the world.
