Gabrielle Zevin – författare

"Så njutbar!" Zadie Smith

"Helt fantastisk. En av de bästa böcker som jag läst." John Green

"Det är en roman som tar spelandet på allvar, men framför allt tar den livet på allvar. Som bra romaner gör." - Amanda Svensson, Sydsvenskan

"'Imorgon och imorgon och imorgon' är inte bara en hyllning till platoniska relationer, utan Zevin lyckas också illustrera hur svårt och sårigt det kan vara att älska någon utanför de givna ramarna.

Det är en medryckande, ibland förkrossande, skildring där Zevin virtuost spelar på läsarens känslomässiga strängar." - Dagens Nyheter

"'Imorgon och imorgon och imorgon' är en av de första romanerna i sitt slag som skildrar spelvärldens utveckling, från 90-talets korniga grafik till dagens mångmiljardindustri. Jag, en totalt spel-okunnig

litteraturnörd, kan tyckas helt fel målgrupp. Men det är jag inte. För Gabrielle Zevin har skrivit något så unikt som en relationell bok om datorspel där kreativ kärlek står i centrum. Med samma kraft som Sadie och Sam slukades av spelen som barn drogs jag in i den här romanen. Kreativ lycka, helt enkelt." - Alba Mogensen, Ystads Allehanda

"Zevins berättelse är en härlig hyllning till barn, ungdomar, vuxna som inte riktigt passar in i det vanliga livet - om kärlek och vänskap och fantasins betydelse i människors liv." - Femina

"Zevins bok är en ljuvlig hyllning till udda existenser, verklighetsflykten och fantasins betydelse i människans liv, kärleken och vänskapen. Jag älskar den." - Svenska Dagbladet

”Och apropå pockettips så har jag precis läst klart denna och jag vet uppriktigt sagt inte vad jag ska göra med mig själv. Den är så fruktansvärt bra. Jag trodde att en roman om spel, det är inget för mig och nu fattar jag inte att jag har kunnat klara av att leva ett läsande liv utan den här boken.” Malin Persson Giolito

Sam och Sadie träffas på ett sjukhus 1987. Sadie besöker sin cancersjuka syster och Sam återhämtar sig från en bilolycka. De två ensamma själarna förenas i den gemensamma kärleken till dataspel, och när de av en slump möts igen åtta år senare inleder de ett samarbete som för dem till oanade höjder: de blir superstjärnor i spelvärlden. Men i verkligheten är saker och ting inte lika fulländade som i spelens virtuella värld. Imorgon och imorgon och imorgon följer Sam och Sadie genom åren av professionell framgång och personliga motgångar, samtidigt som samhället och deras relation förändras.

Gabrielle Zevin har skrivit en förtrollande roman om kärlek, men inte en kärleksroman. Den har tagit världen med storm, bland annat utnämndes den till Amazon Book of the Year.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Sam and Sadie-two college friends, often in love, but never lovers-become creative partners in a dazzling and intricately imagined world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality.

"Delightful and absorbing." -The New York Times - "Utterly brilliant." -John Green

  One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century - One of the Best Books of the Year: The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, TIME, GoodReads, Oprah Daily

From the best-selling author of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn't heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom.

These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won't protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.

Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

Sure, love is hell. But it,s totally worth it.

In these supernatural stories by five of today''s hottest writers—Melissa Marr (Wicked Lovely), Scott Westerfeld (Specials), Justine Larbalestier (Magic or Madness), Gabrielle Zevin (Elsewhere), and Laurie Faria Stolarz (Blue is for Nightmares)—love may be twisted and turned around, but it''s more potent than ever on its quest to conquer all.

From two students who let the power of attraction guide them to break the hard-and-fast rules of their world to the girl who falls hard for a good-looking ghost with a score to settle, the clever, quirky characters in this exciting collection will break your heart, then leave you believing in love more than ever.

From the author of Elsewhere and the Birthright trilogy, Gabrielle Zevin''s Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac is an imaginative YA novel all about love and second chances. If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn''t have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn''t have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn''t have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her "Chief." She''d get all his inside jokes, and maybe he wouldn''t be so frustrated with her for forgetting things she can''t possibly remember. She''d know about her mom''s new family. She''d know about her dad''s fiancée. She wouldn''t have to spend her junior year relearning all the French she supposedly knew already. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn''t have wanted to kiss him back. But Naomi picked heads. Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children''s Book of the Year.
