    A Little Life - Hanya Yanagihara

    Discussion in 'Discussion of Published Works' started by BayView, Mar 11, 2017.

    I'm on chapter 5 of 27 and my endurance is flagging.

    It just feels really self-indulgent, to me. Like Hurt/Comfort fanfic, dressed up as a literary novel.

    Has anyone else read it? I'm trying to decide if I should keep going... I'm listening to the audio version so I can't just skim, which is what I'd likely do if it were a printed copy...

    Absolutely - keep going!

    I felt the same way and then it just got better and better.

    On reflection, I found it slightly unrealistic, but it stayed with me for months.
