From Little Stack
There’s a reason everyone on BookTok who reads A Little Life ends up sobbing hysterically and encouraging everyone else to experience the tearjerker doorstop for themselves.
Hanya Yanagihara’s sophomore novel is brutal, controversial, and all-consuming in its portrayal of the scourge of trauma. Four male friends live and work in New York City, but soon, the attention falls upon Jude, the most mysterious of the quartet and the one whose life has been mired by endless pain. What happens when your life is nothing but agony and it never gets better? Yanagihara dives head-first into that idea with intense and overwhelming detail. It’s no wonder all of the internet was left in tears.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A stunning “portrait of the enduring grace of friendship” (NPR) about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves.
A masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century.
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • MAN BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST • WINNER OF THE KIRKUS PRIZE.
A Little Life follows four college classmates—broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition—as they move to New York in search of fame and fortune.
While their relationships, which are tinged by addiction, success, and pride, deepen over the decades, the men are held together by their devotion to the brilliant, enigmatic Jude, a man scarred by an unspeakable childhood trauma.
A hymn to brotherly bonds and a masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century, Hanya Yanagihara’s stunning novel is about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves.
