Hanya Yanagihara

Hanya Yanagihara's sprawling novel follows four college friends through decades in New York, centering on Jude, whose hidden childhood trauma the book excavates in unflinching, often devastating detail.

Hanya Yanagihara follows A Little Life with a three-part epic that reimagines America in 1893, 1993, and 2093, tracing how the same Washington Square house holds three very different families chasing the same fragile idea of safety.
