Description

Four friends and college classmates move to New York after their graduation to build their lives - broke, lost, with only their friendship and ambitions as their support: the noble, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a painter from Brooklyn trying to conquer the art world; Malcolm, an architect at a significant firm; and Jude - the brilliant, enigmatic Jude.

As the decades pass, their relationships deepen but also darken, colored by addiction, success, and pride. However, the greatest challenge, they all realize, is Jude himself, now an incredibly gifted lawyer but also a man increasingly broken, with his body and mind marked by the unspeakable horrors of his childhood - haunted by traumas he fears he will not only never overcome but that will define him forever. 

With rich and brilliant prose, Yanagihara writes a tragic, transcendent hymn to love, a masterful depiction of heartbreak, the tyranny of memory, and the limits of human endurance.

    This book won a place in my heart. I loved the characters and even a month after reading it, I still find myself thinking about them. However, you need to have tissues close by and in large quantities.

    A masterpiece that I would not recommend to anyone!
    This is because it is an INCREDIBLY heavy book, in the first 600 pages, during the 8 out of the 11 hours it took me to read them, I cried non-stop!
    And because it covers many topics related to EXTREMELY traumatic events, it will greatly affect a reader who has experienced something similar!
    Amazing but at the same time devastating book, remember that when you finish it, it will not have finished with you, but it will have finished with you!
    An epic tragedy...

    Many things have been said about the book and... they are true! A story for strong stomachs, for readers who will try to remain unaffected by everything that happens to the protagonist. It takes perseverance to complete it, but personally, I liked both the author's style and the story in general. Definitely, one should be in a completely opposite state of mind (excessively happy) to read it, as it is a very heavy book.

    Whatever is written about this book. It deserves it. Try to read it with detachment. It troubles you, disturbs you, and shocks you again and again.
