Turtles All the Way Down

 《生命中的美好缺憾》作者再推新作！

  

 　　十六歲的Aza Holmes很努力。她努力成為一個好女兒、好朋友、好學生，現在……她還要努力成為一個好偵探！Aza原本沒有打算要去尋找那個逃亡的百萬富翁Russell Pickett，但她最要好的朋友Daisy躍躍欲試，而且──有十萬美金的誘人獎賞！

  

 　　暌違多年，暢銷作家約翰‧葛林新作終於問世，故事圍繞在十六歲的青少女Aza，她動身去尋找失蹤的富豪，在此同時，她還必須與自己的精神疾病對抗。她的故事部分來自於葛林自身的經驗，他說：「這是我第一次試圖直接寫下從童年起就開始影響我的精神疾病，因此雖然這個故事是虛構的，但它同時也是非常私人的。」葛林從不避諱談到和自己長久共處的精神問題，也在此部小說中，透過一個少女的尋人之旅，試圖讓精神疾病患者去汙名化，因為就像其他任何疾病一樣，患病和談論疾病本身並不可恥。

  

 　　這部令人期待的新作包含一場長久的友誼、意外的重逢、星際大戰同人小說和……紐西蘭鱷蜥(真的啦)，書名取自一則廣為人知的幽默寓言，全書充滿美妙的隱喻和象徵，以及關於信仰和人生的迷人討論。(文/博客來編譯)

"A tender story about learning to cope when the world feels out of control." - People

Sixteen-year-old Aza never intended to pursue the mystery of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there's a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Russell Pickett's son, Davis.

Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

In his long-awaited return, John Green, the acclaimed, award-winning author of Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars, shares Aza's story with shattering, unflinching clarity in this brilliant novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship.
