One of the most talked about books of the year and winner of the 2015 Kirkus Prize for Fiction, Hanya Yanagihara’s novel A Little Life follows four college friends living in New York as young adults: Malcolm is an architect; Willem an actor; JB a painter; and the fourth, Jude, is a litigator with a dark, painful past that remains a secret to those who love him. Despite enormous professional success and strong personal relationships, Jude can’t shake the destructive self-loathing endemic to his childhood abandonment and abuse. Tackling the issues of depression, sexual abuse, and self-harm, Yanagihara examines the ways that friends can help remake a life that has been destroyed, and the limits to their influence. Insightful, devastating, and hopeful, A Little Life pushes the limits of human cruelty while examining the restorative power of love.
