A LITTLE LIFE - HANYA YANAGIHARA GEBUNDEN

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST  SHORT-LISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE  Brace yourself for the
most astonishing  challenging  upsetting  and profoundly moving book in many a season. An epic
about love and friendship in the twenty-first century that goes into some of the darkest places
fiction has ever traveled and yet somehow improbably breaks through into the light. Truly an
amazement-and a great gift for its readers.   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architect at a prominent firm  and withdrawn  brilliant  enigmatic Jude  who serves as their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.   In rich and
resplendent prose  Yanagihara has fashioned a tragic and transcendent hymn to brotherly love  a
masterful depiction of heartbreak  and a dark examination of the tyranny of memory and the
limits of human endurance.
