Beobachtungen aus der letzten Reihe – Neil Gaiman

Warum Lesen uns zu besseren Menschen macht – Ein Einblick in die Gedanken des Bestsellerautors …

Neil Gaiman gehört zu den großen Erzählern unserer Zeit. Seit seiner Kindheit sind Geschichten für ihn Zufluchtsorte und lebensnotwendig. In dieser Sammlung von Artikeln, Essays und Reden beschäftigt sich Gaiman mit Literatur, dem Schreiben, der Kunst und Fantasie. Er spricht über Autoren und Werke, die für ihn prägend waren und geblieben sind, über die Rolle des Lesens und wie es uns zur Empathie und Meinungsbildung befähigt.

Mal eindringlich und weise, mal spielerisch und humorvoll, erkundet Gaiman die Dinge, die ihn bewegen, und schenkt dem Leser einen Einblick in seine ganz persönlichen Gedanken. Q (Werbung)

 

 

 

Yes, No, Maybe So – Becky Albertalli & Aisha Saeed

Jamie Goldberg is cool with volunteering for his local state candidate – as long as he’s behind the scenes. There’s no way he’d ever knock on doors to ask people for their votes…until he meets Maya.
Maya Rehman’s having the worst Ramadan ever. Her best friend is too busy to hang out, her summer trip is cancelled, her parents are separating and now her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing – with some awkward guy she hardly knows …
Going door to door isn’t exactly glamorous, but maybe it’s not the worst thing in the world. After all, the polls are getting closer – and so are Maya and Jamie. Mastering local activism is one thing. Navigating the cross-cultural crush of the century is another thing entirely. Q (Werbung)

 

 

 

History is all you left me – Adam Silvera

When Griffin’s first love and ex-boyfriend, Theo, dies in a drowning accident, his universe implodes. Even though Theo had moved to California for college and started seeing Jackson, Griffin never doubted Theo would come back to him when the time was right. But now, the future he’s been imagining for himself has gone far off course.

To make things worse, the only person who truly understands his heartache is Jackson. But no matter how much they open up to each other, Griffin’s downward spiral continues. He’s losing himself in his obsessive compulsions and destructive choices, and the secrets he’s been keeping are tearing him apart.

If Griffin is ever to rebuild his future, he must first confront his history, every last heartbreaking piece in the puzzle of his life. Q (Werbung)
