The Opposite of Loneliness
Summary
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. As her family, friends, and classmates, deep in grief, joined to create a memorial service for Marina, her unforgettable last essay for the Yale Daily News, "The Opposite of Loneliness", went viral, receiving more than 1.4 million hits. She had struck a chord. Even though she was just 22 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 assemblage 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.

Das Gegenteil von Einsamkeit
Summary
Nur wenige Tage nach ihrem Yale-Abschluss stirbt die 22-jährige 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 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.
