Rezension

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST   MAN BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST   WINNER OF THE KIRKUS PRIZE ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times The Washington Post The Wall Street Journal NPR Vanity Fair Vogue Minneapolis Star Tribune St. Louis Post-Dispatch The Guardian O, The Oprah Magazine Slate Newsday Buzzfeed The Economist Newsweek People Kansas City Star Shelf Awareness Time Out New York Huffington Post Book Riot Refinery29 Bookpage Publishers Weekly Kirkus

Astonishing. The Atlantic

Deeply moving. . . . A wrenching portrait of the enduring grace of friendship. NPR
 
Elemental, irreducible. The New Yorker

Hypnotic. . . . An intimate, operatic friendship between four men. The Economist
 
  Capacious and consuming. . . . Immersive. The Boston Globe

Beautiful. Los Angeles Times

Exquisite. . . . It s not hyperbole to call this novel a masterwork if anything that word is simply just too little for it. San Francisco Chronicle

Remarkable. . . . An epic study of trauma and friendship written with such intelligence and depth of perception that it will be one of the benchmarks against which all other novels that broach those subjects (and they are legion) will be measured. . . . A Little Life announces [Yanagihara] as a major American novelist. The Wall Street Journal

Utterly gripping. Wonderfully romantic and sometimes harrowing, A Little Life kept me reading late into the night, night after night. Edmund White

Spellbinding . . . . An exquisitely written, complex triumph. O, The Oprah Magazine
 
Drawn in extraordinary detail by incantatory prose. . . . Affecting and transcendent. The Washington Post

[A Little Life] lands with a real sense of occasion: the arrival of a major new voice in fiction. . . . Yanagihara s achievement has less to do with size . . . than with the breadth and depth of its considerable power, which speaks not to the indomitability of the spirit, but to the fragility of the self. Vogue

Exquisite. . . . The book shifts from a generational portrait to something darker and more tender: an examination of the depths of human cruelty, counterbalanced by the restorative powers of friendship. The New Yorker

A book unlike any other. . . . A Little Life asks serious questions about humanism and euthanasia and psychiatry and any number of the partis pris of modern western life. . . . A devastating read that will leave your heart, like the Grinch s, a few sizes larger. The Guardian

Exceedingly good. Newsweek

A Little Life is unlike anything else out there. Over the top, beyond the pale and quite simply unforgettable. The Independent

Piercing. . . . [Yanagihara is] an author with the talent to interrogate the basest and most beautiful extremes of human behaviour with sustained, bruising intensity. The Times Literary Supplement

A brave novel. . . . Impressive and moving. Literary Review

Enthralling and completely immersive. . . . Stunning. Daily News

This will always be my fave book of all time

Bewertung am 22.04.2025

Bewertungsnummer: 2472976

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

Everyone who disagrees, says that the book isn‘t good or too traumatizing, just NEVER read a good book. Especially booktok readers - pls just stay with your average smut/romance book if u can‘t take this type of literature - sorry not sorry. For the ones complaining that it‘s too harsh, too traumatizing, too unrealistic: i do have trauma, ITS NOTHING like Judes‘ tho, but i still could feel him completely. This book was so relatable even though i never experienced anything like this. And there are people who actually experience this so i wouldn‘t say it‘s „unrealistic“ If you aren‘t empathetic and don‘t have one single traumatic experience you will probably not like it. But if you do have a little compassion for other people - fictional or not - (and you like to cry) you will most definitely like it. I recommended this book to a lot of people in the past, including a guy who i didn‘t end up with and one year later he literally texted me out of nowhere, saying that he thinks about me whenever he sees the book and he read it TWICE because of me. I think that means something

i started reading this book expecting the worst. people called it boring, trauma-p*rn, said the main character was insufferable and the whole situation wasn't realistic etc i couldn't disagree more. the writing is gorgeous, i struggled to put the book down, i fell in love with the characters and wept like a baby by the end of it. as someone with clinical depression and ptsd, this was a very accurate portrayal. i also know people with the same amount trauma, if not even more. i cannot give the book any less than 5 stars
