About A Little Life in brief
A Little Life is a 2015 novel by American novelist Hanya Yanagihara. The novel follows the lives of four friends in New York City from college through to middle-age. It focuses particularly on Jude, a lawyer with a mysterious past, ambiguous ethnicity, and unexplained health issues. Jude was sexually traumatized at a very young age, making it difficult for him to engage in romantic relationships. He also suffers from severe nerve damage in his spine that causes him great pain, which he blames on a car injury he sustained as a child. Despite this, he thrives in his law practice and develops a close parent-child relationship with his former professor, Harold, and his wife Julia, which results in the pair adopting him when Jude turns thirty. The two settle into a comfortable life, which is shaken when Jude’s legs become worse, and he must reluctantly amputate them. The pair eventually learn to walk again with their new prosthetics and enter a relationship, but Jude still struggles with sleeping with women and not enjoying sex with Willem. The book was written over the course of eighteen months.
