Hanya Yanagihara

An ode to the families we make for ourselves, Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life examines life’s darker dramas and its solaces in a gripping story of devotion, suffering, and the difficulties of recovery that is not easily forgotten.

Four college classmates – broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition – move to New York in search of fame and fortune. A hymn to brotherly bonds – the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves.
