An affecting and hope-filled posthumous collection of essays
and stories from the talented young Yale graduate whose
title essay captured the world’s attention in 2012 and
turned her into an icon for her generation. 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 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
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.
