A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST - A 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.

Look for Hanya Yanagihara's new novel, To Paradise, coming in January 2022.

Review
By: Haana Adiputro

This book is exactly what I was expecting it to be. A great work from Hanya Yanagihara. It makes you feel the despair of what each character is experiencing, the trauma and pain of each character is heartbreaking. Fair warning do read the trigger warnings in this book. This book is really emotion-inducing, the way that it's graphically written details and just the whole entirety of it. Even after month I still think about this book. It's devastatingly beautiful read, highly recommend it.

Great book! Must Read!!!!
By: Ariella Nikita Layono

I can't, with a clear conscience, give this book anything less than 5 stars. It's a book that kept me reading long into the night, made me turn each page with vigor and curiosity, gave me chills and shivers over the joys and sorrows of each character, and ultimately left me feeling a bit older and tortured and yet at peace with the deeply complicated nature of humanity.  What Hanya Yanagihara does...

with A Little Life is nothing nearly as pretentious as that paragraph above. Somehow in 720 pages, she manages to adequately--better yet, excellently--show and make the reader experiences the lives of these young men.

Her prose is clean and honest and revealing of the many emotions that humans experience. It's never explicitly beautiful, not flowery or overwrought with adjectives or descriptors. But it has its own beauty that comes from its ability to convey these feelings, making you feel every pain or happiness that Malcolm and JB and Willem and Jude feel. It's some of the best prose I've read in a while (or ever read), and I wanted it to keep going on forever.

A Very Hard But Rewarding Read
By: Farah Putrizeti

"A Little Life" is probably the longest and the saddest book that I have finished to this date. It's a wonder really how my easily-bored-self able to finish this long and (most-of-the-time) depressing book. I think this is an evidence of how amazing Yanagihara's writing is. Despite talking about the saddest topics ever, she still manages to make this book a page-turner, even though it's a slow one. It's that kind of book that you need to savour slowly. "A Little Life" is a character study revolved around 4 college friends that moved to the city of New York. In the centre of the story is Jude, an enigmatic man with a tragic past that glued their...

friendship together. If you looking for a deep character study and don't mind reading decades long of bittersweet stories full of despair about friendship, love, and being human, I think this book is for you.
