A Little Life

This novel follows the lives of four friends—Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a painter; Malcolm, an architect; and Jude, a brilliant and enigmatic litigator—after they graduate from a small Massachusetts college and move to New York.

Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, influenced by addiction, success, and the profound impact of Jude's unspeakable childhood trauma.

The book is a vivid, hyperreal portrait of human existence, exploring themes of male friendship, race, sexuality, and love in the twenty-first century.
