Never say goodbye traduzione

Did no one else read this Or did they read it and then think better about posting a review lest it be revealed as another finely woven work of plagiarism FWIW it reads like the truth and not another pastiche the small details check out at least Rowan doesn t address the plagiarism scandal until the final couple of chapters While this might sound like he s holding off the reckoning for too long his story up to that point lends his literary downfall gravitas The kid can write he also has had some serious fucking problems to deal with Never Say Goodbye A powerful coming of age story as well as an in depth examination of a long period of transgression Never Say Goodbye is simultaneously a memoir and an unflinching confession Beginning with his earliest memories of childhood theft and cheating the author traces his path through juvenile delinquency and adolescent drug addiction to the solace he initially found in writing and other creative outlets When he achieves sobriety at the age of 20 however insecurity about his early writing success begins to cloud his judgment and Rowan turns and frequently to stealing words from other authors The narrative follows Rowan s attempts to navigate life in his early twenties while he is simultaneously trying to become a well known writer and not get found out It describes the difficulty of leading a normal and honest life while keeping such a huge secret from friends and family and culminates with the author s descent into infamy Five days after the publication of his debut novel the book is withdrawn by publisher Little Brown after a barrage of media reports that large parts of it have been plagiarized from the work of other writers The entire cancer of Rowan s deception is revealed and he is left to pick up the pieces and find a way to go on Ultimately the writing of this book and the rediscovery of his own creative gifts proves to be Quentin Rowan s redemption Never Say Goodbye.
