TREVOR: A NOVELLA

Book ID/图书代码： 12070012B54933

English Summary/英文概要： Trevor is an exuberant, sociable, and witty thirteen year old. So how come, when he takes that nerve-wrecking turn toward his locker at school, does he feel scared and alone? Shunned by his friends, misunderstood by his parents, and harrassed at school for being different, Trevor goes from wondering what color glitter to choose for his Lady Gaga costume at Halloween, to wondering why some feelings "are so intense it makes you just want to lay down and die rather than go on feeling it," and making an attempt on his life. Trevor mixes humor and realism in an urgent look at what it is like to feel alienated from everything around you. And more importantly, what critical ties can step in at the most unlikely moment, to save you from despair, and give you reason to go on living.

Trevor is an update of the film version of the story, directed by Peggy Rajski, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short in 1994. The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning youth. As the recent attention to youth suicides has received increased media attention, and Dan Savage’s IT GETS BETTER campaign has gone viral around the world, the public is finally beginning to face hard facts. Thirty-three percent of suicides among teenagers involve LGBTQ youth, one-third of all LGBT kids report having attempted suicide, and nine out of ten report overt harassment at school. Trevor is an effort to make those kids feel loved and supported, so they will find the strength to go on living.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 特雷弗是一个精力旺盛，善于社交，而且诙谐幽默的13岁男孩，但是他却时常感到害怕寂寞，会把自己锁在学校的衣柜里一个人待着，这到底是为什么呢？特雷弗被朋友孤立，被父母误解，因为与众不同而遭到骚扰。特雷弗常常感到非常得困惑，例如在万圣节应该为自己的Lady Gaga服装选择什么颜色的亮粉，更严重的是，他非常疑惑为什么有些人觉得生活中的很多事让他们觉得自己想要躺下不起来或者干脆死了算了，甚至想把这样的思想强加在他身上。特雷弗的很多观念都改变了，所有的事物似乎都在孤立他。但是更重要的是，在一些不可思议的时刻，会有些至关重要的事件可以将你从绝望中拯救出来，支持你拥有活下去的信念。

《特雷弗》是由Peggy Rajski指导的电影版本的升级版，这部电影获得了奥斯卡的最佳真人短篇奖。"特雷弗项目"是知名的国家组织，它给同性恋，双性恋，变性人，还有问题少年提供危机干预和自杀防御服务。因为近来青少年自杀问题获得了媒体更加多的关注，而且Dan Savage的“一切会更好”项目在全球的地位越来越重要，公众也不得以面对这些难以接受的事实。青少年中33%的自杀者是同性恋少年，期中三分之一的孩子承认他们曾有自杀的倾向，十之八九在学校遭到过嘲笑和骚扰。特雷弗想要让这些孩子感到被爱着和支持着，想要让他们觉得有活下去的勇气。(XAT)

“A beautiful, moving, funny, original book is rare at any time. A beautiful, moving, funny, original book that can dramatically alter young lives arrives about as often as the blooming of the century plant. Trevor is not only a remarkable book, it’s an important book.” —Michael Cunningham

"Lecesne nails Trevor’s personality and voice, a combination of self-assuredness, sharp humor, and enthusiasm. The author also contributes pencil drawings that are as affecting as the prose; the gentleness of his shading echoes Trevor’s softness, which the world is more than ready to harden." —Publishers Weekly

"Trevor is important because its protagonist does not represent a single character, but serves as a vessel for the joy, despair, and alienation that LGBTQ youth can encounter every day at school and at home."—Porter Square Books Blog
