John Green opened up to Us Weekly exclusively about how his own struggle with OCD inspired his 2017 novel, ‘Turtles All the Way Down’
Felix Mallard, executive producer/author John Green and Isabela Merced attend the Los Angeles Advanced Screening of Max's 'Turtles All The Way Down.'
Green said that while crafting the YA book, he wanted to write about the extreme ups and downs that come with battling mental illness while simultaneously depicting it as “honestly” as he possibly could. “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all,” he said, reciting Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope Is the Thing With Feathers,' before adding, “And I do think that that's true. It's just that sometimes you can't hear it, but it's still singing that bird and you just have to fight and work to get back to being able to hear it.
“So that was one of the only things I had any contractual say in,” he told Us. “That's what I was most nervous about. And so I wanted to reserve some ability to at least have veto power over that stuff.”
