Explanation During Books A Little Life

When four classmates 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. There 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cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity.

Over 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.

Article Out Of Books A Little Life

Thank you! This is on kindle daily deal today. I love the 'brilliant' but don't think I can cope with the 'devastating' right now so that was a good

A Little Life is a strong contender for the award for the most depressing book I've ever read. I swear I'm not even exaggerating.At this point, I'm not certain whether this is a positive or negative review. There's no doubt that this book is beautifully-written and contains some of the most raw and honest prose I've ever had the pleasure or misfortune of reading, but it's a long very long character study - over 700 pages of misery, substance abuse, self-harm, sexual and psychological abuse (and

Brace yourself for the most melodramatic, pretentious, dull, dumb, overwritten, repetitive, laughable, cringe-inducing, self-indulgent, unbelievable, stereotypical, voyeuristic, contrived piece of fiction. After pushing through and trying to motivate myself to finish this book just to see if there's more to it or some kind of message there... I'm putting this book down for good. 90% in. Normally, I would have kept going just to find out what happens to the characters, but honestly I care so

OMG my poor heart... I can't...If you want to find yourself sobbing late at night for characters you grow so attached to and have to put down the book for a while this is it.Its been a very long time since a book utterly broke me.Beautifully written character driven book (see I like them sometimes!) about our friends meeting in university in New York.

Amazing review, thank you! I just finished and am still confused as to whether I would recommend it or not. I am glad I read it (I actually paused

Thank you for saying most of what I felt. I listened to this book - this incredibly long, oftentimes brutal, sometimes loving, trying but rewarding

Fuck this book.And it started out so well! The writing is actually gorgeous. I can see why many, many people like this book. Really, Hanya Yanagihara knows how to use language. Unfortunately, the story she told was not worthy of it. The longer I read this book, the more I dreaded reading it, the worse my feelings got as I read, and the more I hated it for existing. Then I read a bunch of interviews by her and hated the book even more.The long and short of it is that this book is nothing but
