A Little Life<\/span>\u00a0follows four college classmates\u2014broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition\u2014as 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\u2019s stunning novel is about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cAstonishing.\u201d \u2014The Atlantic<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeeply moving. . . . A wrenching portrait of the enduring grace of friendship.\u201d \u2014NPR<\/p>\n

\u201cElemental, irreducible.\u201d \u2014The New Yorker<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHypnotic. . . . An intimate, operatic friendship between four men.\u201d \u2014The Economist<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCapacious and consuming. . . . Immersive.\u201d \u2014The Boston Globe<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBeautiful.\u201d \u2014Los Angeles Times<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cExquisite. . . . It\u2019s not hyperbole to call this novel a masterwork\u2014if anything that word is simply just too little for it.\u201d \u2014San Francisco Chronicle<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRemarkable. . . . 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. . . .\u00a0A Little Life<\/span>\u00a0announces [Yanagihara] as a major American novelist.\u201d \u2014The Wall Street Journal<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUtterly gripping. Wonderfully romantic and sometimes harrowing,\u00a0A Little Life<\/span>\u00a0kept me reading late into the night, night after night.\u201d \u2014Edmund White<\/p>\n

\u201cSpellbinding . . . . An exquisitely written, complex triumph.\u201d \u2014O, The Oprah Magazine<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDrawn in extraordinary detail by incantatory prose. . . . Affecting and transcendent.\u201d \u2014The Washington Post<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[A Little Life<\/span>] lands with a real sense of occasion: the arrival of a major new voice in fiction. . . . Yanagihara\u2019s achievement has less to do with size . . . than with the breadth and depth of its considerable power, which speaks not to the indomitability of the spirit, but to the fragility of the self.\u201d \u2014Vogue
\n<\/span>
\n\u201cExquisite. . . . 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.\u201d \u2014The New Yorker
\n<\/span>
\n\u201cA book unlike any other. . . .\u00a0A Little Life<\/span>\u00a0asks serious questions about humanism and euthanasia and psychiatry and any\u00a0number of the partis pris of modern western life. . . . A devastating read that will leave your heart, like the Grinch\u2019s, a few sizes larger.\u201d \u2014The Guardian
\n<\/span>
\n\u201cExceedingly good.\u201d \u2014Newsweek
\n<\/span>
\n\u201cA Little Life<\/span>\u00a0is unlike anything else out there. Over the top, beyond the pale and quite simply unforgettable.\u201d \u2014The Independent
\n<\/span>
\n\u201cPiercing. . . . [Yanagihara is] an author with the talent to interrogate the basest and most beautiful extremes of human behaviour with sustained, bruising intensity.\u201d \u2014The Times Literary Supplement
\n<\/span>
\n\u201cA brave novel. . . . Impressive and moving.\u201d \u2014Literary Review
\n<\/span>
