These guys confront everything as they grow up: family, love, friendships, the pressures of adulthood. Whether you're trying to climb a corporate ladder or make it as an artist, you know the struggle involved in those itsy-bitsy steps that feel more like walking in place than moving upward. They start small and slow, working low-paying jobs and trying to earn another degree or get that one audition or please their boss enough to get a better assignment. They're all super-ambitious: Malcolm wants to be an architect, JB wants to be an artist, Willem wants to be an actor, and Jude wants to be a lawyer. The novel is about four guys who've known each other since college.
One of the best things about Hanya Yanagihara's new book, A Little Life - which you need to read immediately - is how incredibly universal it is.
