Is it possible to grow up while getting younger?
Welcome to Elsewhere. It is warm, with a breeze, and the beaches are marvelous. It’s quiet and peaceful. You can’t get sick or any older. Curious to see new paintings by Picasso? Swing by one of Elsewhere’s museums. Need to talk to someone about your problems? Stop by Marilyn Monroe’s psychiatric practice. Elsewhere is where fifteen-year-old Liz Hall ends up, after she has died. It is a place so like Earth, yet completely different. Here Liz will age backward from the day of her death until she becomes a baby again and returns to Earth. But Liz wants to turn sixteen, not fourteen again. She wants to get her driver’s license. She wants to graduate from high school and go to college. And now that she’s dead, Liz is being forced to live a life she doesn’t want with a grandmother she has only just met. And it is not going well. How can Liz let go of the only life she has ever known and embrace a new one? Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward? This moving, often funny book about grief, death, and loss will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned.

“结束得很快,没有任何痛苦。”父亲有时候会这样悄声对母亲说,母亲有时候也会这样悄声对父亲说。 新生婴儿是个女孩,早晨六点二十四分来到人间。体重六磅十盎司。 25岁,一个人特别好的时节,有使不完的力气,像是一匹脱缰的野马在世界中肆意奔跑,只为展示自己那蓬勃的生命...
评分文/宝木笑 艺术作品和人类其他活动一样,总是会面对一个“术”和“道”的问题。这在文学作品中表现得依然十分突出,形式和内容的纷争伴随着文学史的发展,虽然人们从字面意义上已然可以明白其中的高下,但在文本的具体创作,特别是接受过程中却不是想象那样简单。就像奇幻小说...
评分一本脑洞很清奇,却又不乏加·泽文的暖画风的这么一本小说。 被一个学姐所推荐过,也在知乎上收藏过包含这本书的书单。Kindle上找到时就立刻买了下来。读的很快,至少对于我这个读书拖延症来说。不是一本大波大浪的史诗,但却是最贴近人心的,加·泽文文风。 ...
