Hazel & Augustus

Ansel Elgort och Shailene Woodley. Huvudrollsinnehavarna i The Fault in Our Stars-filmen. De spelar också tillsammans i filmatiseringen av Divergent, som jag har haft på nattduksbordet i forever and ever.


John Green höll examenstal på Butler University häromdan och det kan man läsa på hans tumblr

"This is the hero’s journey, right? The hero starts out with no money and ends up with a lot of it, or starts out an ugly duckling and becomes a beautiful swan, or starts out an awkward girl and becomes a vampire mother, or grows up an orphan living under the staircase and then becomes the wizard who saves the world. We are taught that the hero’s journey is the journey from weakness to strength. But I am here today to tell you that those stories are wrong. The real hero’s journey is the journey from strength to weakness."

Håller helhjärtat med och rekommenderar The Fault in Our Stars (för - vadå - fjärde gången?) till alla som vill läsa om riktiga hjältar...
