CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF PICADOR BOOKS Shortlisted for the Booker
Prize 2015 Shortlisted for the Baileys Prize for Women's Fiction
2016 Winner of Fiction of the Year at the British Book Awards 2016
Finalist for the National Book Awards 2015 The million-copy
bestseller, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara is an immensely
powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits
of human endurance. 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. 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Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn,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 centre 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 for ever. Part of the
Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern
literature.
