I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you. – Friedrich Nietzsche Her prose is clean and honest and revealing of the many emotions that humans experience. It's never explicitly beautiful, not flowery or overwrought with adjectives or descriptors. But it has its own beauty that comes from its ability to convey these feelings, making you feel every pain or happiness that Malcolm and JB and Willem and Jude feel. It's some of the best prose I've read in a while (or ever read), and I wanted it to keep going on forever. Those promised "The Happy Years" are some of the most heartbreaking chapters I've ever read. I read another review where the person said she had to put the book down because this part of the book was too close and personal. To quote the reviewer: When people cheat in any arena, they diminish themselves-they threaten their own self-esteem and their relationships with others by undermining the trust they have in their ability to succeed and in their ability to be true. – Cheryl Hughes

Whoever is looking for a book for enjoyment or edification: the ordeal in reading this was way more than I could bear. It is the saddest and gloomiest I've ever read. A doctor who's read this book would have to strongly advise a patient suffering clinical depression to avoid the misery of reading it... at all costs. McCall, Kevin (January 31, 2023).

The answer, of course, is that it’s Yanagihara’s design. That’s why it’s good to know that Jude is entirely her concoction, not a figure based on testimony by survivors of child rape, clinical case studies or anything empirical. I found Jude an infuriating object of attention, but resisted blaming the victim. I blame the author.This is the story of three incredibly selfish "friends" who are mostly so pretentious they don't even resemble real people. In July 2015, the novel was long-listed for the Man Booker Prize [24] and made the shortlist of six books in September 2015. [25] In 2019, A Little Life was ranked 96th on The Guardian's list of the 100 best books of the 21st century. [26] Fernández, Alexia (July 1, 2021).

Understandably then--I think--when I found out that Ms. Yanagihara meant to toy with the emotions of everyone who read this, that she set out to write it in a way that would depress, oppress and dishearten unsuspecting readers, I was pissed. Would I go view a film if I knew the screenwriter's purpose was to inflict gratuitous pain and anguish? NO. This is different than emotions like cheer, fear, and sneers at irony. I know a horror movie's purpose is to scare, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Apatow rom-coms are intended to cheer me, and movies like Gladiator and Braveheart to evoke and satiate my inner urge for justice and vengeance. I could think of novels if I had more time. Avoid telling the town that you’ve been lied to. Inasmuch as you think it’s justified to snitch against the person who lied to you, two wrongs don’t make a right. You’ll end up stirring gossip, and making others hate your enemy is more juvenile than mature. The much-anticipated play also stars Luke Thompson ( Bridgerton, Hamlet), Omari Douglas ( It’s A Sin, Constellations), Zach Wyatt ( The Witcher, I and You), Elliot Cowan ( The Crown, 2:22 A Ghost Story), Zubin Varla ( Tammy Faye, Equus), Nathalie Armin ( Force Majeure, The Doctor), and Emilio Doorgasingh ( Best of Enemies, The Kite Runner). Lying is wrong. When you tell a lie for the sake of sparing someone’s feelings it is not suddenly right, but it is compassionate. And is not compassion a form of love? Love—the greatest of all virtues! So, my darling, I do wrong for you. I lie that you might feel loved. – Richelle E. Goodrich Not only is Jude a top-notch litigator, but he’s also a brilliant mathematician. AND an excellent pianist. AND a singer of lieder. During school (full scholarship), he has a job at a bakery (oh, he’s also an amazing baker). So… when - and HOW - did he learn how to play piano and study German art songs? Seriously. I want to know. What bothers me is the assumption beneath all of this. Does he have to be so good at all of these things for people to love him? If someone has been abused and ISN’T as accomplished, isn’t this person just as worthy of love and understanding? For that matter, WHY do people love Jude? I don’t get it. All he seems to be doing for the entire book is saying, “I’m sorry.” Which brings me to...
