THE UNFINISHED LIFE OF ADDISON STONE

Book ID/图书代码： 11518013B65870

English Summary/英文概要： * Latest gripping novel from two-time National Book Award finalist Adele Griffin *

“From the moment she burst into the downtown art scene, eighteen-year-old Addison Stone was someone to watch. Her trademark subversive street art and her violent drowning left her fans and critics craving to know more about this brilliant wild-child who shone so bright and was gone too soon. By means of more than one hundred interviews with those who knew her best—including close friends, family, teachers, mentors, art dealers, boyfriends, and critics—I have retraced the tumultuous path of Addison’s life, with research that sheds new evidence on what really happened the night of July 28, 2013. With photo inserts and previously unpublished supplemental material.”

In this ingenious fictional take on the celebrity bio, 17-year-old graffiti artist and media sensation Addison Stone is found dead: an apparent suicide. Everyone in her life (friends, family, patrons, lovers) has something to say about it, and each first-person testimonial contains a piece of the puzzle behind her tragic death.

Two-time National Book Award finalist Adele Griffin offers an ingenious fictional take on the “oral history” celebrity bio that defined a bestselling genre: Edie, American Girl by Jean Stein and George Plimpton (http://www.amazon.com/Edie- American-Girl-Jean-Stein/dp/0802134106). In presenting herself as interviewer and curator of memories, Adele paints the portrait of a tragic young celebrity who allegedly committed suicide—presented in a series of brief first-person recollections—that ultimately results in the solving of a murder.
