"From non-binary writer and musician Rae Spoon: a rollicking yet introspective young adult adventure about screwing up, finding yourself, and forging a new life on your own. At age nineteen, the queer narrator of Green Glass Ghosts steps off a bus on Granville Street in downtown Vancouver, a city where the faceless condo towers of the wealthy loom over the streets of the east side where folks are just trying to get by, set against the deceptively beautiful backdrop of snow-capped mountains and sparkling ocean. Armed with only their guitar and their voice, our hopeful hero arrives on the West Coast fleeing a traumatic childhood. They're eager to build a better life among like-minded folks, and before they know it, they've got a job, an apartment, openly non-binary friends, and a new queer love. But their search for belonging and stability is disrupted by excessive drinking, jealousy, and painful memories of the past, distracting the protagonist from their ultimate goal of playing live music and spurring them to an emotional crisis. If they can't learn to care for themselves, how will they ever find true connection and community? The haunting black-and-white illustrations by Gem Hall conjure the moody, misty urban landscape and evoke that delicate, aching moment between youth and adulthood when we are trying, and often failing, to become the person we dream ourselves to be."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
