A novel of extraordinary intelligence and heart, a masterful depiction of heartbreak, and a dark and haunting examination of the tyranny of experience and memory.
Hanya Yanagihara lives in New York City.
A singularly profound and moving work . . . It's not often that you
read a book of this length and find yourself thinking "I wish it
was longer" but Yanagihara takes you so deeply into the lives and
minds of these characters that you struggle to leave them
behind
*The Times*
A book unlike any other . . . A devastating read that will leave
your heart, like the Grinch's, a few sizes larger
*The Guardian*
Exquisite . . . The book shifts from a generational portrait to
something darker and more tender: an examination of the depths of
human cruelty, counterbalanced by the restorative powers of
friendship
*The New Yorker*
[A] wholly immersive unforgettable read . . . You won't stop
reading. And it's a novel that changes you
*Evening Standard*
Utterly compelling . . . quite an extraordinary novel. It is
impossible to put down . . . And it is almost impossible to
forget
*Daily Express*
Hypnotic . . . An intimate, operatic friendship between four
men
*The Economist*
A Little Life is unlike anything else out there. Over the top,
beyond the pale and quite simply unforgettable
*The Independent*
Piercing . . . [Yanagihara is] an author with the talent to
interrogate the basest and most beautiful extremes of human
behaviour with sustained, bruising intensity
*The Times Literary Supplement*
Capacious and consuming . . . Immersive
*The Boston Globe*
Beautiful
*Los Angeles TImes*
Remarkable. . . . An epic study of trauma and friendship written
with such intelligence and depth of perception that it will be one
of the benchmarks against which all other novels that broach those
subjects (and they are legion) will be measured
*The Wall Street Journal*
Astonishing
*The Atlantic*
Deeply moving . . . A wrenching portrait of the enduring grace of
friendship
*NPR*
Affecting and transcendent
*The Washington Post*
