书籍简介

克里克特是个害羞的男孩，喜欢画画。他见到奥林匹亚时，她比他年长，也更自信；她怂恿他做了些轻微的破坏，克里克特瞬间就爱上了她。他们在一起时，谈论着未来，谈论着环游世界的计划，谈论着艺术的美丽和令人陶醉的魅力。

然而，未来却以意想不到的方式到来，岁月在他们之间流逝，艺术界诱惑着他们，也让他们失望，让他们沮丧。他们不得不一次又一次地思考，究竟何为艺术家，究竟该爱谁，爱什么。

这是一部狂野而美丽的小说，讲述了两个朋友相信他们能够改变世界的故事。他们相信，只要能够发起自己的运动，躲避骗子，保持清醒的头脑和开放的心态，不至于精神崩溃，不至于英年早逝于罕见的癌症，始终忠于自己的理想，并且永不厌倦美。这并不容易，但也并非不可能。

Cricket is just a shy kid who likes drawing when he first meets Olympia. She's older, more confident; she bullies him into some light vandalism and instantly he's in love. When they're together, they talk about their futures, how they're going to travel the world, the beauty and rapture of art.

Then those futures start to arrive in unexpected ways, the years and decades pile up between them, the art world seduces and disappoints and frustrates them. And they have to figure out, again and again, what it is to be an artist, and who and what to love.

This is a wild and beautiful novel about two friends who believe they can change the world, if only they can start their own movement, dodge charlatans, remain open-eyed and open-hearted, avoid going mad, avoid dying young of rare cancers, stay true to their ideals and never tire of beauty. Not easy, but not impossible, either.
