Product Details
- Now with more of Marina’s writing and a new foreword by #1 bestselling author R.F. Kuang. The instant New York Times bestseller and publishing phenomenon: Marina Keegan’s posthumous collection of award-winning essays and stories “sparkles with talent, humanity, and youth” (O, The Oprah Magazine).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. Marina left behind a rich, deeply expansive trove of writing that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation. Her short story “Cold Pastoral” was published on NewYorker.com. Her essay “Even Artichokes Have Doubts” was excerpted in the Financial Times, and her book was the focus of a Nicholas Kristof column in The New York Times. Millions of her contemporaries have responded to her work on social media. As Marina wrote: “We can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over…We’re so young. We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it’s all we have.” The Opposite of Loneliness is an unforgettable collection of Marina’s essays and stories that articulates the universal struggle all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to impact the world. “How do you mourn the loss of a fiery talent that was barely a tendril before it was snuffed out? Answer: Read this book. A clear-eyed observer of human nature, Keegan could take a clever idea...and make it something beautiful” (People).

United States Editorial Review
**** "The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories" by Marina Keegan is a poignant collection that resonates deeply with readers, reflecting on the complexities of life, loss, and human connections through the lens of a remarkably talented writer. Keegan's untimely death at 23 adds a layer of tragedy to this collection, as it serves as a beautiful testament to what might have been—a preview of a celebrated literary career that was just beginning to unfold. The quality of Keegan's work shows a variable maturity, typical for a writer of her age; however, it is her profound insights that leave an impact. Each of her essays and stories explores themes that are both deeply personal and broadly universal—ranging from coming-of-age dilemmas to existential musings about life and relationships. For example, the short story "Cold Pastoral" expertly portrays the heartache of youth, navigating love and loss with an authenticity that many can relate to, while "Reading Aloud" reveals the complexities of longing and self-acceptance across different stages of life. Readers have noted the richness of Keegan's language and her keen observational skills, which bring her narratives to life and allow them to linger in the mind long after being read. Her essays touch upon a variety of subjects, ranging from the humorous to the heartbreaking, showcasing her versatility as a writer. Whether she is reflecting on her first car or advocating for compassion toward all living beings, Keegan’s voice remains distinctive, insightful, and compelling. Overall, "The Opposite of Loneliness" is highly recommended for readers of all ages, not only for its literary brilliance but also for the emotional depth it offers. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of authentic connections, introspection, and the celebration of life's fleeting moments. **
