Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life is an epic about love and friendship in the twenty-first century that goes into some of the darkest places fiction has ever travelled and yet somehow improbably breaks through into the light. When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but that will define his life forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e***************\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHanya Yanagihara (Author)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 2015, Hanya Yanagihara stunned the literary world with her second book, the profoundly moving novel, A Little Life.
