NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST SHORT-LISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE Brace yourself for the most astonishing challenging upsetting and profoundly moving book in many a season. An epic about love and friendship in the twenty-first century that goes into some of the darkest places fiction has ever traveled and yet somehow improbably breaks through into the light. Truly an amazement-and a great gift for its readers. When four classmates 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cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world Malcolm a frustrated architect at a prominent firm and withdrawn brilliant enigmatic Jude who serves as their center of gravity.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 forever. In rich and resplendent prose Yanagihara has fashioned a tragic and transcendent hymn to brotherly love a masterful depiction of heartbreak and a dark examination of the tyranny of memory and the limits of human endurance.
