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
