David Levithan Libri

Manhattan, sabato sera, un locale punk. Nick, che ha appena finito di suonare con il suo gruppo, chiede a una sconosciuta di essere la sua ragazza per cinque minuti. Le chiede solo cinque minuti e un bacio. Quanto basta per farsi vedere dalla sua ex che incede sicura nel locale con il nuovo ragazzo. Ma anche quanto basta per precipitare con Norah in una notte lunghissima. Vagando in una New York piovosa e sfavillante di luci, tra tassisti scontrosi, buttafuori vestiti da coniglietta, ingombranti ex fidanzati, un giubbotto che si chiama Salvatore e una vecchia auto di nome Jessie, Nick e Norah vivranno una notte indimenticabile, al ritmo di una colonna sonora fatta di clacson, cellulari squillanti e canzoni: pezzi rock urlati nei locali, testi appassionati scritti sui marciapiedi, canzoni amate e canzoni odiate, in una playlist all'ultimo respiro.

Una sera, nel più improbabile angolo di Chicago, due ragazzi di nome Will Grayson si incontrano. Dal momento in cui i loro mondi collidono, le vite dei due Will, già piuttosto complicate, prendono direzioni inaspettate, portandoli a scoprire cose completamente nuove sull'amicizia, l'amore e su loro stessi.

Naomi e Ely sono amici da quando andavano all'asilo, e sono così legati che niente e nessuno potrebbe minacciare l'inossidabile "N. & E. Istitution". Niente o quasi: per questo hanno deciso di stendere una lista con le cose da non fare MAI per proteggere la loro amicizia, resistita alle peggiori calamità, tra le quali l'appartenenza a due universi lontani come quello maschile e femminile. Ma Ely è gay, e il prezioso vademecum consiste in un elenco di ragazzi da non abbordare nemmeno in caso di estinzione del genere umano: la Lista degli Imbaciabili®. Non a caso, è proprio contro il più intoccabile della lista che il patto si infrange: il ragazzo di Naomi. È la tragedia, e Naomi decide di non rivolgere più la parola al suo migliore amico. Ma non per la ragione più ovvia. Perché c'è una cosa che Naomi non vuole ammettere: ad andare in frantumi non è stata la sua fiducia, ma l'inconfessabile speranza che un giorno Ely si innamori di lei.

Stephen è abituato a non essere notato. È nato così. Invisibile. A causa di una maledizione. Elizabeth ha desiderato spesso di essere invisibile. Se la gente non ti vede, nessuno può ferirti.

Stephen si accorge con stupore che Elizabeth riesce a vederlo, ed Elizabeth si rende conto che desidera essere vista da Stephen, che non ha paura di mostrarsi a lui. Cosa sta succedendo? Da dove ha origine la maledizione che pesa sulla famiglia di Stephen? All'improvviso i ragazzi si ritrovano catapultati in un mondo segreto popolato da maghi e stregoni, di fronte a una scelta difficile, che mette in gioco il loro amore e le loro vite.

How does one talk about love? We are all beginners when it comes to love, from those tentative first dates to learning how to live with, or without, someone. But how does one describe love? How does one chart its delights and pleasures, its depths and desolations? Do we even have the right words to describe something that can be both utterly mundane and completely transcendent, pulling us out of our everyday lives and making us feel a part of something greater than ourselves? David Levithan's The Lover's Dictionary starts where we all once started - with the alphabet. Constructing the story of a relationship as a dictionary, Levithan explores the intimacies and workings of love through his nameless narrator, to paint a moving portrait of love through everyday words. Cleverly using the confines of language to provide an intimate window into the great events and quotidian trifles of being part of a couple, Levithan gives us an indelible and deeply moving portrait of love in our time.

Teens are more aware of sexuality and identity than ever, and they’re looking for answers and insights, as well as a community of others. In order to help create that community, YA authors David Levithan and Billy Merrell have collected original poems, essays, and stories by young adults in their teens and early 20s. The Full Spectrum includes a variety of writers—gay, lesbian, bisexual, straight, transitioning, and questioning—on a variety of subjects: coming out, family, friendship, religion/faith, first kisses, break-ups, and many others. This one of a kind collection will, perhaps, help all readers see themselves and the world around them in ways they might never have imagined. We have partnered with the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and a portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to them.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Every Day, this is a queer love story set against the backdrop of the 2024 presidential election, in a reimagining of David Levithan’s 2004 novel Wide Awake. When David Levithan published Wide Awake in 2004, he set it in an imagined 2024, where a gay Jewish man had just been elected president of the United States, until a governor decides that some election results in his state are invalid, awarding crucial votes to the other candidate and his fellow party member. What follows is the story of teens Jimmy and Duncan as they explore their relationship, their politics, and their country. In Wide Awake Now, David Levithan is flipping the script and rewriting Jimmy and Duncan’s story in the real 2024, rather than his imagined version. This is a protest novel for today. Once again, David Levithan proves the critical importance of standing up for what you believe in and the cost of apathy in today’s political climate.
