The Collectors: Stories: (Printz Medal Winner)
Using collecting as its guiding idea, this short-story anthology brings together ten YA writers in different forms and voices. It foregrounds weirdness and experimentation while binding together ideas of possession, memory, identity, and the frictions between people.
作品情報
Ten stories illuminate the strange appeal of collecting from different angles.
Edited by A. S. King, these ten stories invite readers to enjoy the differences between forms such as short fiction, script, and lyrical fragments while linking them through the shared motif of collecting. Behind the oddity, the loneliness, desire, and need for connection among young people come into sharp focus.
レビュー要約
-
Its original structure and editorial willingness to draw young readers into experimental storytelling are praised. Readability varies from piece to piece, but the thematic coherence and bold premise leave a strong impression.

A USA Today and National Bestseller From Michael L. Printz Award winner A.S. King and an all-star team of contributors including Anna-Marie McLemore and Jason Reynolds, an anthology of stories about remarkable people and their strange and surprising collections. From David Levithan’s story about a non-binary kid collecting pieces of other people’s collections to Jenny Torres Sanchez's tale of a girl gathering types of fire while trying not to get burned to G. Neri's piece about 1970's skaters seeking opportunities to go vertical—anything can be collected and in the hands of these award-winning and bestselling authors, any collection can tell a story. Nine of the best YA novelists working today have written fiction based on a prompt from Printz-winner A.S. King (who also contributes a story) and the result is itself an extraordinary collection. M. T. Anderson, e. E. Charlton-Trujillo, A.S. King, David Levithan, Cory McCarthy, Anna-Marie McLemore, G. Neri, Jason Reynolds, Randy Ribay, and Jenny Torres Sanchez have each penned a surprising and provocative tale.
Hailed by the New York Times as “one of the best YA writers working today,” A.S. King is the author of over a dozen books for young readers. She is the only two-time winner of the Michael L. Printz Award. She is the winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. She is the recipient of both the Margaret A. Edwards Award and the ALAN Award for her lifetime contributions to young adult literature. King lives with her family in Pennsylvania, where she returned after living on a farm and teaching adult literacy in Ireland for more than a decade.

“Because you cannot truly love anything you will not someday lose.” A collection of short stories by award winning YA authors of interesting people and their strange collections. The stories are widely different, but all center around things people collect. Some collect fire, some collect other collections and some even collect opportunities to shred on their boards. My favorite of the collection was Take it From Me. Kind of on the dark side, but some are quite impactful!
