  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.
  这是一部充满希望、令人动容的随笔散文集,是毕业于耶鲁大学的年轻才女的遗作。
  玛丽娜·基亘于2012年5月以优异的成绩从耶鲁毕业,前途一片光明。她的原创短剧将登上纽约国际艺穗节的舞台,《纽约客》也向她抛出橄榄枝。不幸的是,毕业五天后,玛丽娜在一场车祸中丧生。
  尽管芳华早逝,但她留下了广泛而丰富的文章,如同她那篇同名散文,捕捉到了她这代人的希望、捉摸不定和可能性。《孤独的反面》收集了所有玛丽娜的散文和故事,如其中《最后一课》一样,讲述了我们大家在认清自己的渴求,考虑如何发挥才能影响世界时都要面对的纠结。
